Is Eva Jospin on the verge of becoming the new queen of contemporary art? After bewitching the Palais des Papes last summer, this nymph with intimate and delicate works has set her sights on the residence of the Sun King, transforming an entire section of the Orangery of the Palace of Versailles into a fairy garden, a marvelous jungle of which she is the only one to keep the secret. However, there will be no question here of impenetrable forests of cardboard - its trademark -, but of a giant saffron-colored tapestry whose shades of skeins of ocher silk, cotton and jute reveal a sacred wood where intertwine branches, vines and colonnades.

The journey can begin...

Made in India by the expert hands of the Chanakya workshop in Mumbai, this tailor-made embroidered decor for a Dior haute couture show stretches over a hundred meters here. The opportunity to allow ourselves a few back and forths and take the time to analyze every detail of this forest of brown threads. The manual, slow, meticulous and daily gesture is easily guessed, while we allow ourselves to be seduced by the image of Eva Jospin, similar to a modern-day Penelope weaving her web in the shadow of the kings of France.
