ABOUT THE FOUNDER
During his PhD, Alexandre got interested in the physics of liquid crystals and developed a real fascination for these objects that interact with light in such a spectacular manner. It was during a stay in Kyoto that he found a way to combine his passion for photography with his love of science. In 2017, he co-founded the AiR - Art in Research gallery and acts today as a photographer and curator to reveal a radical, fundamental, hidden beauty in our research laboratories. [Learn more]
THEY TALK ABOUT US
"The AiR project reminds us, more than ever, that nature is the greatest artist."
"It is clear that Science and Art are the engines of nations' innovation and cultural development."
"Science, like art, results from a subtle balance between emotion and reason, regularities and surprises, light and shadows."
