Designed by Jean Nouvel, the Quai Branly Museum is the art museum in Paris specializing in primitive art that drew interest as a national project when it was constructed. The museum decided to hold its first painting-centered special exhibition in which the paintings by Australian aboriginal artists from the 1960s onward were to be appreciated in the framework of contemporary art, and the exhibition space was designed to have a white neutral undertone.
As the ceiling is exceptionally complicatedly structured for an art museum, it proved very difficult to cost the uniform white light suitable for contemporary art. When I used supplementary light to bring out the works that had sunken back because they were comprised of mostly browns, it appeared as if the fine details of the intricate paintings had awoken and had begun speaking to us. It was an awesome experience to reconfirm the power of light.
