Nelly Maurel unveils a series of ethnological photographs that bewilder the imagination. At the heart of this unique collection are women from all over the world handling the humblest of objects—an egg. Nelly Maurel skilfully weaves a narrative thread through the ages, combining the raw authenticity of ethnographic explorations with the visual poetry of artistic photography.

Presented for the first time in Europe, this exhibition is a true journey through time and space, spanning the history of photography from its earliest beginnings to the present day, offering a glimpse of distant cultures, sacred gestures and unique rituals.
