bruno dayan and the elephant paname

if you happen to visit paris soon, drop by elephant paname, an old napoleon III mansion left abandoned for years. it was recently renovated and turned into a 500 sqm multidisciplinary arts center that offers six dance studios, a gallery space, a music scene as well as a gastronomic restaurant… the gallery recently hosted fashion photographer bruno dayan‘s show “a corps perdu”, with a selection of never before seen personal work. the dreamy and sensual shots fit perfectly with the baroque, forgotten space… keep an eye out, bruno dayan’s exhibition just ended at elephant paname in paris, and might be shown soon in new york… by lil
