This exhibition brings together photographic series by artists who have been partnering with the Maison over the years. It highlights their own visions of dance, expanded through their engagement with the Dance Reflections by Van Cleef & Arpels Festival. Held twice a year in different cities, this event offers a panorama of contemporary choreographic art. 

Over several editions of the Festival, photographers were given carte blanche to follow choreographers and dancers day in and day out, both onstage and backstage. Capturing the movement and beauty of fleeting moments, the resulting images immerse viewers in the dancers’ routine, from the rehearsal hall to the stage. 

From London (2022 and 2025) to New York (2023 and 2026), Hong Kong (2024), Kyoto (2024) and Seoul (2025), Rinko Kawauchi, Olivia Bee and Estelle Hanania have captured a rich variety of artists. As the only company followed by all three photographers, the Ballet National de Marseille, currently directed by the dance collective (LA)HORDE, serves as the common denominator between their three distinct artistic practices.

This exhibition presents Juliette Agnel’s exploration of the Orto Giardino del Redentore, in Venice. This garden has been recently restored by the Venice Gardens Foundation with numerous supports, including Van Cleef & Arpels. The result, a selection of photographs, was first showcased from August 28th to December 19th, 2026, within the Convent Garden of the Most Holy Redeemer. 

From November 10th, 2026, to January 27th, 2027, Le Stanze della Fotografia unveils an additional selection of more than 80 images within an exhibition design that highlights the artist’s attentiveness to the plant world.

When Juliette Agnel first stepped into the previously hidden space in early 2026, she instantly felt its distinctive energy. Over time, a unique temporal rhythm has presided over this natural space, where each whisper becomes a blend of the three essential elements of gardens: floral, vegetable and medicinal. To capture this vitality, the artist wandered through the garden paths day and night. Silences, tinglings, indistinguishable movements… Her photography invites the public to see with new eyes and to discover a microcosm in its rebirth.
