Mathias Kiss is opening his “Watch You Burn” show tonight at his Parisian studio
A raw, hypnotic take on beauty and self-destruction in hypermodern life. Set in a stark white basement, the exhibition plays with contrasts—idealized perfection against its inevitable decay. Kiss’s use of classical materials and traditional craftsmanship underscores the deliberate artificiality of the works, highlighting the tension between perfectionism and self-destruction in a hyper-aestheticized world.
On view until June 13th
