Publicis Luxe, known for its innovative approach to art and luxury, returns to Arles in July 2024 with a groundbreaking photography exposition centered around the theme of metamorphosis. Following last year’s exploration of “Time is on your side,” this year’s event delves into the transformative concept of metamorphosis, bringing together hybrid duos of creatives and artists.

An edition presented for the first time by Cultish, a collective dedicated to the relationship between luxury, arts, and culture, initiated by Publicis Luxe.

Curated by Julien Frydman and co-curated by Christine Milan and Aurélie de Villeneuve, “Metamorphose(s)” is an exhibition designed as an echo to the profound paradigm shift taking place in luxury: a radical metamorphosis where the brand nymph becomes a true cultural actor, leading to a profound transformation in its expression.

The exposition will be held from Wednesday, July 3 to Friday, July 12, 2024, at the Collatéraux in Arles, with free admission every day from 10 AM to 6 PM, including weekends and public holidays.

Join us to immerse yourself in the dynamic and evolving discourse of metamorphosis.
