In a fast-paced world in search of ever more sensationalism, can we take the time to get back to basics?
We can no longer ignore the challenges of climate change.
Form is important, but we sometimes forget the substance and the fundamentals.
Creating an exhibition from scratch, outside any institutional framework, questioning every stage of the design and production to put the essential back at the heart of the project: that is the crazy challenge I set myself.
Passionate about science, art and culture, a doctorate in physics and a curator, I founded my company Céline Nadal – MuseoScience and embarked on this adventure which has resulted in the creation of the exhibition COLOURS.
I had to overcome obstacles, trial and error and persevere.
I will be presenting the approach and choices I have made: physical and sensory experiences that are simple and profound, a transdisciplinary and universal approach, between art and science, a sober and elegant scenography, eco-designed and conceived for touring.
