Special Editions by Luca Marchetti – Mathias Chelebourg

For the fifth meeting of Special Editions, Luca Marchetti welcomes French creator Mathias Chelebourg.

With his Atelier Daruma, he pushes the boundaries of immersive storytelling through unique sensory experiences, blending virtual reality, theatrical performances, and cutting-edge technologies. Among his recent projects is his participation in the immersive installation “Le Parlement des Vivants” by Ramy Fischler at the Jardin des Plantes in Paris (2024), as well as several collaborations with major institutions such as the Philharmonie de Paris and international brands like Chanel. This meeting takes place on the occasion of the publication of “Gastronomy,” the first volume of the ↗immersive.paris ® collection, which explores the contemporary immersive transition through interviews, presentations of works, and in-depth articles, offering an artistic perspective on an ongoing cultural shift.

Special Editions is a series of events dedicated to objects and books. At the intersection of design and publishing, Special Editions questions the status of works and objects that occupy a special place in the lives of creatives, authors.

Is there a story behind the object? What is the personal narrative, the emotion, the feeling behind the words, the lines, the forms? What does the book say about its author? What does the object say about the person who created it? And what, in turn, do the creator say about his object and the author about his book? What else do they say about those who collect them, appreciate them? To find out, Luca Marchetti offers through Special Editions a series of meetings for those who love slow time and intimate connections. The object is at the service of meaning in a conversation of another kind, at once escape, experience, entertainment and communion.
