Fabien Dettori – WHISPERS OF THE MUSES

From March 26 to 30, 2025, Parisian artist Fabien Dettori takes over Auguststraße 35 in Berlin for his fourth solo exhibition in the German capital. Titled Whispers of the Muses, this show unveils a series of works where the female body and still lifes become the stage for a subtle dialogue between material and light.

Approaching photography as a painter, Dettori transforms reality into compositions that seem to emerge from another time. His work blends the softness of chiaroscuro with delicate golden accents, presenting small-scale unique pieces enhanced with gold leaf alongside large-format prints in limited editions. Through these images, he captures the essence of form and texture, playing with shadow and radiance to reveal the singularity of the body and the timeless presence of objects.

At the heart of his work lies a deep exploration of the female body—not as an idealized figure, but as a subject of intimate, nuanced storytelling. He highlights its singularities, its delicate imperfections, curves, and scars, embracing its raw beauty and quiet strength. His photographs go beyond representation; they celebrate the body as a landscape of memory, emotion, and sensuality, where light traces its contours with almost sculptural depth.

To offer deeper insight into his artistic process, a complete program of events will accompany the exhibition. Fabien Dettori will be present at the gallery throughout the entire show, engaging with visitors and sharing his creative universe. As a highlight, he will create two unique pieces live, allowing the audience to witness his meticulous approach firsthand during exclusive live performances. Between mystery and poetry, Whispers of the Muses invites the viewer into an intimate contemplation, where each image seems to whisper a silent story, suspended between the visible and the invisible.
