March 11th 2017 On the mezzanine, open by invitation, a tribute is paid to the dancer Muriel Jaër through the eyes of three photographers who have followed her since the 1970s. While Max-Yves Brandily makes the dancer's moving body a drawing in space, hands and bodies are imbued with an original light in the luminescent photographs of Étienne Bertrand Weill. It is a purifying dance that Bernard Boisson summons, through a body that has become a flame. cnap.fr | Corps et Ames

The enchantment engendered by the photographs called Metaforms by É.B. Weill is perhaps magical in nature, or in any case, "supernatural", as Jean Arp said in a poem dedicated…
Vertige du corps September 16 - November 18 2012 The Bibliothèque Nationale de France presents the work of photographer Etienne Bertrand Weill (1919-2001) in the Julien Cain aisle. An itinerary based on modern prints allows us to discover a work that is an example of the fertile crossroads of languages and forms between photography and live performance in the second half of the 20th century. At the beginning of his artistic career, in the immediate post-war period, Etienne Bertrand Weill first devoted himself to humanist reportage and architectural photography. In search of new forms of expression, he turned to the Parisian avant-garde scene. Exhibition catalogue…
"Light and mouvement"
In the 1950s, the optical art movement emerged and revolutionised the new modalities of perception. Their works, which were genuine playful or interactive games, exploited the biological faculties of the human body - retinal dynamism, optical acceleration, diversion of the gaze - and appealed to the various senses through games of light or works that could be manipulated, penetrated or sounded. musees.strasbourg.eu | L'œil moteur
