Nymphea

Overview

At nightfall, a young woman, nymph or mermaid, moves quietly through an aquatic environment. The creature appears trapped in the tunnel, her body seemingly extending into the inhospitable passageway. The light from the projection plays on the moving surface of the water, a clear homage by Ange Leccia to Claude Monet's pictorial research. This water nymph is embodied by Laetitia Casta, a beloved icon of our society, who here becomes a contemporary mythical nymph.
