The Château d'If, its legends, its majesty and its mystery, its thousand and one stories including that carried by the novel by Alexandre Dumas, stands imperturbable off the coast of Marseille, it is reached from the Old Port.
Since this summer, it has been particularly dazzling the horizon, a temporary work of art renamed "marine flux 2024." Adorned with vibrant colors, it invites the gaze more than ever.
Like a modern siren, it draws us into the odyssey told by Miguel Chevalier, who covered it in canvas and transformed the building into a cabinet of curiosities.
We succumb to the visual song of his 3D printed sculptures, drawn under a blue light that transports us to a world of flamboyant corals in the heart of a fantastic ocean.
The artist chose shapes and colors inspired by "the energy that is generated around this island."
The exhibition inside the castle offers an immersive experience in the heart of an underwater world modeled in 3D ceramic and recycled plastic and offers a journey beyond the boundaries of reality.
An exhibition with almost psychedelic connotations.
Miguel Chevalier
