Pierre et Gilles | Factory of idols

At the Musée de la Musique de la Philarmonie in Paris, the exhibition explores the relationship of the famous artistic duo with music, its codes and its symbols, according to their usual and well-known style which, combining photography and painting, produces desecrating, sparkling and flamboyant works, on the borderline with kitsch. The photographer Pierre and the painter Gilles in 40 years have produced singular creations, portraying various celebrities.

The accompanying playlist, composed by the artists, echoes each work, like a giant jukebox, as visitors discover never-before-released documents, memorabilia and other relics from their illusionists’ studio, offering new insight into their Fabrique des idoles.
