Joris-Karl Huysmans at the Louvre The enchantment of mystery

In the Louvre, Huysmans seeks a truth beyond the everyday, a being-here to conjure up being-there. Five texts suffice for him to transcribe his relationship to the world, to art, and to the museum, as well as all his theoretical and metaphysical questions: at the Louvre, everything merges and makes sense. It is a place of transcendence where infinite possibilities are realized together, where Huysmans frees himself from earthly contingencies to give himself a few seconds of eternity.
