For some 15 years Isabelle de Borchgrave’s paper exhibitions have travelled the world. Everywhere, from New York to Tokyo passing through Venice and Istanbul, the magic produces its effect... causing wonderment at the transformation of a simple sheet of white paper. It is a meeting through the centuries with one of the most prestigious families in Italian history: the Medici. Through the magic of trompe l’oeil, Isabelle de Borchgrave walks us through history and aesthetics. Some thirty paper costumes showing the elegance of the times in minute detail, and giving new life to the painting of the great masters such as Botticelli, Bronzino or Gozzoli.
