To mark the centenary of the perfume Shalimar, Guerlain is organizing an exhibition of modern and contemporary art in partnership with the Art Basel Paris fair.

It will take place at the Guerlain boutique, 68 avenue des Champs-Elysées, from October 22 to November 16, 2025 .

Bringing together some thirty artists, both emerging and established, the exhibition explores the different facets of love through an intergenerational dialogue.

Through this series created in 2018, Charlotte Abramow (who graduated from the Photographe prise de vue course in 2015) tackles thehistorical invisibilization of the clitoris.

The tryptic presented in the exhibition illustrates this desire for rehabilitation through ametaphorical, joyful and subversive staging.In the face of taboos, shame and ignorance, Charlotte asserts a political and sensitive approach to pleasure.She calls for the reappropriation of a body that history has long kept at bay, in order to claim its full legitimacy.

In this series initiated during her Bachelor's Degree in Photography and Videography, Sofiya Loriashvili(graduated in 2024) photographs love dolls, hyperrealistic sex dolls.

She deliberately blurs landmarks through tight, frontal, luminous framing to blend in with the silicone figures, rendering her own flesh almost indistinct.

This visual confusion is at the heart of her approach: the blurred boundary between the living and the artificial questions the way in which love, desire and femininity are projected, standardized and consumed.

"Only You and Me" offers a reflection on contemporary love, power dynamics and the dissolution of the self in a quest for desire shaped by norms and fantasies.

Students in the Bachelor of Photography and Video (class 2027) explored the symbolic and sensory richness of perfume through a workshop in partnership with Guerlain.

Three of the works submitted by the students were selectedby Maison Guerlain for the exhibition: photos by Nikita Guerlet, Léonard Gilgand Solenn Boloh.

All the work resulting from this collaboration will be exhibited at the school. It will run from November 6 to 30 (free admission).
