Following the publication of Lettres à Camondo, the Musée Nissim de Camondo will stage an exhibition of new installations by de Waal made especially for its rooms and collections. The museum has remained unaltered since 1936 and this is the first invitation of its kind to a living artist.
The Musée Nissim de Camondo has been in my life for a long time. My grandmother visited her cousins here in the 1920s, they lived ten houses up from the museum. I haunted it when researching the history of a collection I had inherited, bought in the 1870s. So to receive an invitation to make an exhibition here in this family house was an honour mixed with anxiety. It is not simple. It should never be straightforward to bring anything new into a place that is so storied. Here is a tremor of trespass.
