Lassana Sarre: Globale Inversion Inversion

The people in these paintings are the guards you walked past on the way in. Lassana Sarre spent several months with the Palais de Tokyo's security teams, sharing their routines and collecting fragments of their conversations and memories, then painted them straight onto the building's walls.

What he paints is the ordinary stuff of a shift: meals eaten at staggered times, waiting, patrols, quick chats between colleagues, the beeps and the breaks. His colours are often made from earth, and a sound piece plays through the corridors and circulation areas rather than in one gallery. For once in a Paris museum, the person who would tell you not to touch the art is the art.

The project grew out of earlier work with guards at a New York museum. It comes with the general ticket (€13, €9 reduced, free under 18). Hours are 12:00 to 22:00, until midnight on Thursdays, closed Tuesdays.
