“The Illusion of Light” brings together works by contemporary artists who, from the 1960s to today, have explored the physical and aesthetic, symbolic and philosophical stakes of an essential dimension of human experience: light.
Through the work of twenty contemporary artists, the visitor is invited along the way to create his own path between the opposite polarities of black and white, day and night, visible and invisible, realty and illusion.
