This exhibition brings together 40 international projects that in one way or another address our relationship to energy.Some projects make electricity and its infrastucture visible. Others present new forms of old products.
All together these projects make what we can't see or just forget about more tangible. By this EDF hopes to make our relationship to energy a more considered one.
