French Pavilion, 61e International Exhibition at the Biennale di Venezia 2026

During the Renaissance, it was said that artists were born under the influence of Saturn. For the Venice Biennale, Yto Barrada revisits this myth with Comme Saturne, a work in which textiles play a central role.
During the preparation of this work, the artist was captivated by the beauty of one of her fabrics when illuminated from behind by sunlight. She wanted to recreate this effect — and we made it happen.

Société Lumière was commissioned to provide custom backlighting for Thierry Cohen’s large pieces, to enhance the striking effect of his chiaroscuro.

Following the very large light boxes of Hélène Delprat’s Nautilus project, presented at Art Basel 2021, Société Lumière had the pleasure of producing a miniature version of the Nautilus triptych. The pieces are now part of private collections.

Benoît Delaunay, scenographer at Narrative Swiss, invited us to participate in highlighting part of the stained glass collection at the Ariana Museum in Geneva.
We have made bicolor LED strips which indirectly illuminate the stained glass windows.

The « Post Tenebras Lux » exhibition provides access to more than 200 little-known works, extracted for the occasion from Geneva municipal reserves.
