Matrix of Worlds, Collège des Bernardins, Paris, France, 2024

Muriel Pénicaud offers us a very personal, artistic, and poetic vision of three worlds: earth, sky, and women.

In Muriel Pénicaud's vision, these three worlds are perfectly intertwined, creating a poetic, social, and earthly theme. From the first glance, we are transported by the meaning we can attribute to her works and commitments.

Testimonials Exhibition

“Matrix of Worlds”

  • REZA Photographer

    “I had the privilege of visiting in good company. An exhibition not to be missed.”

    REZA Photographer, peace photographer, visual artist, speaker and author, motivator, architect by training.

  • “Discovering Muriel Pénicaud's photos, elegantly and subtly displayed at Les Bernardins, was a truly moving experience. Muriel Pénicaud's art photography (these are art photos) addresses the major issues of our time—life, nature, women, young people—allowing us to understand the world and its accompanying questions, our astonishment at violence, the rejection of others, and our distancing from life and nature, with the obvious realization that beauty and another way of living and being in the world are possible. We leave this exhibition with a sense of lightness and joy, carried away by the beauty of what is on display, resonating with the trees, the birds, the children, the women. These photos, often marked by movement, sometimes playful, often tender, fill us with joy and warm our hearts with their beauty. Thank you, Muriel.

    Françoise Nyssen, former Minister of Culture, Chair of the Supervisory Board of Actes-Sud.
