The MAMAC collections are taking up residence in the apartments of the Palais Lascaris, with drawings, photographs, videos and sculptures, and as a highlight an invitation to the artist Laurence Aëgerter.

Laurence Aëgerter's interest in Arts & Crafts and heritage spaces made this invitation obvious. Several dreamlike and grandiose works were specially designed by the artist for this project, in collaboration with craftsmen: cabinetmaker, founder, glassmaker, upholsterer... Created by the team of the Centre du Verre Contemporain in Biot under the direction of the artist, a phosphorescent milky white glass ladder stands in front of the bed in the palace's state room. While its feet turn into roots and anchor themselves in the ground, the ladder leads straight to the canopy. Ovid's Dream (in reference to the ancient book of Metamorphoses by the Latin poet Ovid) opens a passage to elsewhere. The metamorphosis of the ladder into a tree dialogues with the painted ceiling representing Apollo and Daphne transformed into a laurel tree.
