By Night

À l’occasion de la huitième édition d’Urban Art Fair, les Galeries Lafayette Champs-Elysées sont heureuses d’inviter l’artiste Seth au sein du grand magasin pour une carte blanche poétique, qui se déroulera du 16 au 29 avril 2024.

Free to wander through the empty spaces of the Galeries Lafayette, artists and directors are invited to take over the department stores', to draw on its resources, to explore its walls and to meet its talents in order to discover its places, colors, history, trades and people through creation. Each of the works offers a poetic and phantasmagorical vision that reveals the rich heritage and culture of the department stores': a historical monument, a theater of commerce and a cultural symbol that bears witness to trends and lifestyles over the centuries.

Between fictions and documentaries, these "cartes blanches", accompanied by original musical compositions, explore the spaces and the intimacy of the department stores' from a new angle. Each evening event offers the spectator a unique and surprising timeless experience, transporting them to places that are not accessible during the day.
