Information

With E-1027+123, French photographer Stéphane Couturier turns his lens to Eileen Gray’s iconic Villa E-1027 – a milestone of modern architecture and a symbol of female architectural utopia. In his multilayered double exposures, Gray’s precise geometries encounter Le Corbusier’s expressive wall paintings. The result is a series of vibrant visual spaces that reveal architecture as both a poetic and political medium.

The exhibition presents works that drew wide attention at the 2025 Rencontres d’Arles – now on view in Berlin for the first time.

Stéphane Couturier (1957) started his artistic career in Paris of the 1990s. Interested particularly in architectural structures and the transformation of spaces, his work derives from places all over the world - from Paris to Berlin, Havana, Seoul and Moscow. In his practice he explores the boundaries of the photographic medium, manipulating and layering images, creating works in-between photography and painterly compositions.
