Guimet (2016-2018)
In 2019, the Musée national des arts asiatiques - Guimet dedicated the retrospective Infinis d’Asie to Jean-Baptiste Huynh, bringing together his view of Asia over the course of 25 years. On this occasion, the artist was invited to give his vision of the collections, offering a renewed, powerful, and abstract interpretation.
« Jean-Baptiste Huynh's journey, magnified by his photographic art, reaches a dimension of infinity that is naturally welcomed by a museum dedicated to an Asia that is both real and metaphorical.
In its apparent simplicity, Jean-Baptiste’s vision invites us to grasp the texture of time, the texture of being. »
