The winners and the ten finalists were announced last week in the Villa Noailles. But the contemporary museum is still worth a visit because, until the end of May, the house will be the host of several exhibitions.
The main sponsor CHANEL presents haut couture clothing themed upon innovation. Karl Lagerfeld, who turned the House of Chanel into a creative think tank, shows a cross-section of his fashion in an exhibition titled "Three Worlds". ‘We must not overexpose the model, we must give the model a personality,’ he comments about the works.
But there are also extract photographs as well as old black & white photographs of the Villa Noailles to be seen in the former gymnasium of the Villa.
One room shows new works and installations by Lorenzo Viturri from Italy, who won the Grand Prix of the photography jury. The photographer currently living in London just recently had a solo exhibition titled ‘Dalston Anatomy’ at The Photographers’ Gallery in London and at the Yossi Milo Gallery in New York.
Plus there are sculptures presented there from Arnold Goron in addition to the works of the ten finalists of the photography awards.
