Architectural Photographer for Parc Culturel and Château de Rentilly – A Dialogue Between Contemporary Art and Heritage

The Parc Culturel and Château de Rentilly, reimagined by artists Xavier Veilhan, Matthieu Poitevin , and Philippe Bona, is a remarkable project that transforms a historic château into a contemporary work of art in the open air. Located in the heart of the Rentilly Park, near Paris, this iconic building is entirely covered in polished stainless steel panels, reflecting its natural surroundings in a play of light and reflections that change with the seasons. This project seamlessly merges architecture, sculpture, and landscape while paying homage to the château’s historical roots.

As an architectural photographer, the challenge in capturing this transformation lies in the interaction between the artwork, the environment, and the visitors. Every angle reveals a new facet of the building, where the structure seems to blend into the landscape while remaining visually striking. The reflections of the sky, trees, and surrounding meadows provide unique perspectives, making each photograph dynamic and ever-changing depending on the light and atmospheric conditions.

The Château de Rentilly stands as a masterpiece of contemporary architecture, where art integrates with historical context. My photography highlights the duality between modernity and tradition, revealing the subtle dialogue between man, art, and nature. Each shot aims to capture the beauty of the materials, textures, and reflections that make this artistic project so unique.

This project embodies the ongoing journey of architecture becoming a work of art. For those interested in the interaction between heritage and contemporary art, the Château de Rentilly is a must-see. It showcases the ability of architects and artists to transform a space while honoring its legacy.
