Magic and Power
From magic carpets to drones


The exhibition draws us into spheres which are both magical and menacing, and shows how flying objects can inspire our imagination and at the same time spread a disturbing atmosphere of clandestine observation.

The show is a highly extended version of the presentation “Heaven and Hell” conceived last year by Diane Hennebert and Christophe Dosogne for the Boghossian Foundation – Villa Empain in Brussels.
