B&W Photography/Marie Caroline Senlis presents ‘Versailles Onirique’

‘Versailles Onirique’ is a long-term photographic project which started in 2013 in Versailles Palace’s gardens and was completed in 2015. 

This exhibition of black and white photography presents a poetic vision about gardens “à la française”, in all seasons and from different angles. 

It is an attempt to portray the beauty and the majesty of this monument of the French historical heritage, as well as an invitation to letting the mind wander. ‘Versailles Onirique’ is about seeing and marvelling, getting lost into misty or snowy lanes and discovering a site steeped in France’s history. It will be held from 4-17 June at Black Cat Café, 11, Wijerama Mawatha, Colombo 7. Entrance is free.  After graduating in Literature, Linguistics and Fine Arts studies, Marie-Caroline Senlis began her career as a professional artist in 2002 with a photographic project in China. 

This exhibition marks the beginning of a photographic research, enriched by many travels abroad, and by her 15 years of experience living in Asian countries, mainly in China, India, Pakistan and, today, Sri Lanka.

Through her work in black and white, she captures atmospheres and people, fixing on film hazy lights, misty nature, and inviting the audience to a fantastic world of multiple interpretations and reinterpretations. Her exhibitions have been and continue to be exhibited worldwide.
