Information

With E-1027+123, French photographer Stéphane Couturier turns his lens to Eileen Gray’s iconic Villa E-1027 – a milestone of modern architecture and a symbol of female architectural utopia. In his multilayered double exposures, Gray’s precise geometries encounter Le Corbusier’s expressive wall paintings. The result is a series of vibrant visual spaces that reveal architecture as both a poetic and political medium.

The exhibition presents works that drew wide attention at the 2025 Rencontres d’Arles – now on view in Berlin for the first time.

Opening: Friday, 31 October 2025, 6 - 9 pm

Stéphane Couturier (1957) started his artistic career in Paris of the 1990s.

In his practice he explores the boundaries of the photographic medium, manipulating and layering images, creating works in-between photography and painterly compositions.
