Mika Ninagawa with EiM: Alive with Shadows

Preview: written before the show opened

Mika Ninagawa photographs beauty that is about to go: bright petals, butterflies hung in mid-air, goldfish drifting, artificial flowers in the middle of a city. "I know that everything has an end," she writes in the show's text, and that is why she keeps shooting.

The Grand Palais calls this her first show of its kind in Europe, across Galleries 9.2 and 10.2. Alongside the photographs and videos, her collective EiM (Eternity in a Moment, founded in 2022) builds rooms of digital art, moving projections and crystallised forms, staged by Atelier Tsuyoshi Tane Architects. You are meant to walk through them, not just look, which the museum ties to her childhood around her father, the theatre director Yukio Ninagawa.
