Duy Anh Nhan Duc. Les cimes de l'asphalte is the catalog published on the occasion of the artist's solo exhibition, which runs from October 25, 2024 to January 26, 2025 at the Espace Richaud, Versailles (FR). It includes an introduction by François de Mazières and a conversation between Pauline Lisowski and the artist.

Born in 1983 in Hô Chi Minh, Vietnam, Duy Anh Nhan Duc lives and works in Paris. He makes nature the matrix of his work, creating poetic installations from materials that fascinate him. “The creations I imagine bring to light plants that we all know, but sometimes no longer look at.” His work has been the subject of monographic exhibitions in numerous institutions, including the Musée national des arts asiatiques - Guimet, the CENTQUATRE Paris, the Centre d'Arts et de Nature du domaine de Chaumont-sur-Loire, the Fondation Louis Roederer in Reims and the Musée de Salagon in Mane.

Art critic, Pauline Lisowski founded a blog on contemporary art, The art corridor and collaborates regularly with the magazines Point Contemporain, BoumBang, Branded, Inferno, Kritiks and Artaïssime. She is interested in artistic practices which mainly concern space, landscape art, in situ installation in relation to architecture and projects that forge links with cartography. She considers the exhibition space as a place of inspiration for its history and its architecture. His projects consist of inviting artists to take the time to discover a space, to find material for creation in it to invest and reveal it. She builds her exhibitions from an experience of the place and the territory. She thus accompanies the artist in his reflection and in his creative process.
