The Space Between Us

On the occasion of the bicentenary of the birth of photography, LE BAL unveils a treasure normally kept out of sight: the prestigious collection of Michael and Jane Wilson. This exceptional exhibition brings together 120 historic prints, true visual gems that question what is really happening at the moment of the shutter click. A palpable tension arises between the lens and the model, sometimes luminous, sometimes mysterious. These works tell of intimacy, distance, and the secret alchemy linking two beings on either side of the camera. It’s a rare opportunity to contemplate such a high quality historical and aesthetic ensemble. The event will take place from June 19, 2026 to January 4, 2027, offering an unprecedented look at the very essence of photographic portraiture through the ages.
