Fondation Pernod Ricard presents Le rêve cette autre part, a dreamlike exhibition in Paris 8e
In Paris, the Fondation Pernod Ricard presents “Le Rêve, cette autre part”, a group exhibition dedicated to sleep and the imaginary. Conceived as a sensitive journey, it invites us to experience dreams in broad daylight, without any instructions.
Le Rêve, cette autre part at the Pernod Ricard Foundation
In the rooms of the Pernod Ricard Foundation, dreams take on concrete forms. Paintings, films, sound pieces and installations trace the passages between waking and sleeping. In addition, the tour focuses on the gestures, breaths and images that persist upon awakening. Visitors advance through thresholds, then compose their own weave.
The title suggests a gap, almost an escape. The exhibition shows how dreams displace our certainties, without cancelling them out. In fact, many of the works in the exhibition are intimate in format and
The urban context is not forgotten. The nocturnal narrative intersects with the city, its lights, floors and voices. On the other hand, nothing imposes a single direction, allowing each piece to
“The dream opens a passage to that other part where art watches.”
Dreaming together
The dream is a shared experience, even when it seems secret. Encounters, tours and mediation formats reinforce this commonality. As such, the Pernod Ricard Foundation unites the public, artists and researchers around a simple question: what does sleep tell us these days? As a result, everyone can relate these works to their everyday lives.
Mediation is clear, jargon-free, and adapts to the pace of the visit. Pause areas invite you to listen, then write if you need to. Admission is free, unless otherwise stated, which encourages wide access. In addition, practical advice is available on site to help families get the most out of their visit.

Works, formats and itineraries at the Pernod Ricard Foundation
The gaze unfolds in fragments, as in the night. Some works frame tiny gestures, almost like signals. Others amplify voice and breathing to fix a duration. At the heart of the Pernod Ricard Foundation, these choices compose an attentive narrative.
The layout favors gentle movement between rooms. The lighting is softly guiding, and the sound is layered. Signage, on the other hand, is restrained, offering pointers rather than answers. As a result, everyone remains the author of their own reading.
The materiality of the pieces is very important. Textures, papers, textiles and projected surfaces become dreamlike terrains. Visitors orient themselves with their senses as well as their eyes. Here, the Fondation Pernod Ricard takes on a scenography that listens to the works.
Practical information and access
The address is simple: 1, cours Paul Ricard, 75008 Paris, just a stone’s throw from major transport links. This makes it easy to reach from Saint-Lazare or Saint-Augustin. In fact, the surrounding area is well signposted. The reception desk then guides you to the day’s itinerary.
Times vary according to season and program. It is therefore advisable to check the information on site beforehand. So book ahead if a meeting is announced, as places go quickly. The Pernod Ricard Foundation often offers short lunchtime formats.
Supporting artists and the legacy of the Pernod Ricard Foundation
Since 1999, the structure has been supporting emerging creation in France. It encourages forward-looking approaches and measured risk-taking. What’s more, the team defends a living link between artworks, research and society. This coherence is reflected in the annual program.
The Prix Fondation Pernod Ricard has supported many talented artists over the years. It also weaves a network of mutual support between artists, curators and institutions. As a result, the ecosystem is gaining in visibility and resources. This exhibition extends this commitment to the field of dreams.
“Le Rêve, cette autre part” resonates with our fragmented nights and hurried days. It reminds us that sleep is not a break, but a workshop. Dreams also work on the images we share. As such, the Pernod Ricard Foundation maintains a space where art still keeps watch.
