Exposition — Saint-Paul de Vence

Mathias Bensimon

From 30/10/2024 to 28/02/2025

This winter, Fondation CAB Saint-Paul de Vence is pleased to welcome a monumental work by artist Mathias Bensimon entitled Infinitésimal.

At the crossroads of art and science, Infinitésimal is an immersive work that plunges viewers into a reflection on quantum physics and the very nature of perception. Inspired by the work of physicist Jim Al Khalili on the role of quantum physics in the living, the artist questions the links between inanimate and animate matter, blurring the boundaries between biology and quantum physics.

Since 2015, the artist has drawn on the work of astrophysicist David Elbaz and collaborated with physicist Maxime Jacquet at the Sorbonne, working on the movement of light. This partnership between art and science becomes a conversation between two universes, where light is explored not only as a physical phenomenon, but as a symbol of perception and connection to the world.

Art and science are two ways of looking at and establishing a direct and personal connection to the world.

Access to the fresco and the foundation is by appointment: spv@fondationcab.com
