Palais de Tokyo - White Ceramic Candle

Astier de Villatte collaborated with Palais de Tokyo, a  building dedicated to modern and contemporary art, located near the Trocadero in Paris. 

Overlooking the river Seine, like a starship navigating the mysterious turbulence of artists’ imaginations, it dominates the view.

A troubling fragrance floats between the raw cement walls of its wide, maze-like passageways, where a crowd of zealous and enlightened visitors feverishly gathers: intoxicating wisps of smoky wood, warm skin and metallic vibrations.
