The principal aim of the exhibition is to confront and support the contemporary form of the object (whether objects or installations) as a distinctive form of thinking in space, and to give preference to the non-figurative language of forms and shapes and their significant contexts.

Michel Houellebecq (Michel Thomas) is, since the 1990s, one of the contemporary authors of French language the most translated and read in the world. As a lover of photography who studied at the École Nationale Louis Lumière in Paris before embarking on his literary career, Houellebecq for the first time presented his photographs at Pavillon Carré de Baudoin, Paris (Before Landing, 2014), later at Palais de Tokyo, Paris (Rester Vivant, 2016), Manifeste 11, Zürich (2016), and Venus over Manhattan Gallery, New York (French Bashing, 2017).
