Alexandre Humbert investigates in his short film Les Impatients the life and emptiness experienced during the quarantine of the Musée des Arts Décoratifs in Paris. It closed to the public on March 15, like many other institutions around the world due to the quarantine following the health emergency of covid-19, a period during which “it was interesting to look at how museums have revolutionized the methodology of communication, to give online visitors the opportunity to stay in touch with the works on display.”

Les Impatients 

As part of his residency at the Musée des Arts Décoratifs in Paris, Alexandre Humbert reveals the life of the museum's roofs, which are also those of the Louvre palace. This film, made shortly before the new confinement, echoes the place of cultural institutions that only exist when they are visited.
