Grand Palais Paris

Laure Prouvost | WE FELT A STAR DYING / Nous, frissons d'étoiles

10.06.–26.07.2026

Between atoms and particles, Laure Prouvost takes you on an unprecedented sensory journey. Beneath the glass roof of the Grand Palais, the artist presents a monumental work combining video, sculpture, sound, scent, and light, the result of two years of research into quantum physics. Laure Prouvost invites you to see the world differently.

Everything begins with a vertiginous question: “What might we feel when perceiving reality from a quantum perspective?”

Theorized a century ago, quantum physics describes the behavior of matter and energy at the scale of atoms and particles. It is based on probabilities rather than certainties and challenges our usual way of understanding the world. To develop this project, artist Laure Prouvost conducted two years of research with philosopher Tobias Rees and scientist Hartmut Neven. With access to a powerful quantum computer, she created images and sounds that reflect the sensitive and unpredictable nature of these systems.
