Studio de la sculpture. Ground floor, Mas Notre-Dame-de-Vie, Mougins 1974.

A fisheye lens creates an immersive, curved perspective of the sculpture studio on the ground floor of Mas Notre-Dame-de-Vie in Mougins, 1974. The rustic space, with its exposed stone walls and vaulted ceiling, is densely filled with a diverse array of artwork. A life-sized classical nude statue stands in sharp contrast to the numerous dark, abstract sculptures in bronze and other metals displayed on the floor and on workbenches. Natural light from a large, arched window illuminates the prolific and stylistically varied collection, casting strong highlights and deep shadows.
