The special exhibition "Woman - Who Are You? (Femme y es-tu)" was displayed outdoors in the Luxembourg Garden from May 19 to September 23. Paris's backyard garden, the Luxembourg, hosts outdoor sculpture and installation exhibitions every summer, becoming an annual cultural ritual for the art capital, Paris, indicating the French National Assembly's attention to and promotion of arts. This year, with the unique theme "Woman - Who Are You?", it invited 45 artists of various generations from Europe to participate, exploring women's diverse identities such as mother, lover, noblewoman, fairy, empress, prostitute, celebrity, etc., playing their identity and role in specific scenes. It attempts to explore and unravel women's mysterious and gentle aspects, or conversely, their sinister and cunning sides. This is not a feminist exhibition, but rather an analysis of women's perspectives from a broad angle. Women are mysterious and elusive, more so than men; their gentleness is like water, charming and captivating, making men infatuated and captivated. In secular terms, we often hear that heroes find it hard to pass the beauty test, seemingly harder than any other difficult hurdle. Women's strong will is as solid as steel, like an iron wall, capable of dismantling the world's walls (e.g., crying down the Great Wall) and shattering men's hearts. Women's fierce explosive power is as fierce as a tiger; when facing life-threatening danger, they are braver and more intense than tigers, crushing enemies' bodies and swallowing their hearts. Women's schemes and cunning can strip men of their power and wealth, leaving them destitute. Women's warmth and omnipotence become the radiance of maternity, etc.

This year's Luxembourg installation special exhibition, as usual, is placed in the lush garden, with green lawns, shaded paths, trees, and fountains, where the bright garden becomes the scene for the works, enhancing their poetic and picturesque characteristics. Most notably, ten artists used the "French Queen" statues (surrounding the garden platform) as themes for installations, expressing historical sentiment and the allegory of women, awakening the sleeping queen statues into new life. For example, Polish young artist Wela installed sensual figurative sketches on the facade under Queen Clotilde's statue. French painter Jean-Paul Chambas constructed a theatrical scene under Queen Anne d'Autriche's statue, mixing modern and classical figures, and brought the queen a pair of red high heels, adding humor and drama. Artist Artur Mille turned the beautiful queen into Sleeping Beauty, weaving a giant spider web around the statue with transparent threads. Nicole Barth presented a large string of prestigious jewelry necklaces to Queen Anne; this colorful necklace is placed in front of the statue, and through a mirror in front, the queen appears to wear the necklace. Young artist Florence Bost surrounded the noble Queen Valentine of Milan statue with a sound installation, connecting blue cylinders with colored threads; people hear sweet, intimate, and gentle voices from the horn when approaching. Noel Pasquier constructed a European fiery jungle (plants) using colorful ceramic tiles under the charming queen statue. Gerald Pestnal dressed the beautiful and charming Louvre de Noves queen in a primitive leaf skirt. Fashion designer Fransk Sorbier dressed France's most authoritative queen Marie de Medicis in a black coat decorated with astrological signs, symbolizing the queen's destiny, etc. Near the Orangery, under the shaded path, German artist Axel Cassel created a woman full of primitive flavor; wood sculptor Coskun made a very romantic figurative yet abstract woman (wood) statue; famous Belgian sculptor Eugne Dodeigne created a highly symbolic woman stone statue. Famous Polish artist Magdalena Abakanowicz's Walking Headless Women series presents unease, bewilderment, and tragedy. Young artist Christine Boileau treated trees as female bodies, dressing tree trunks in charming net skirts, appearing very enchanting and cute. Xavier Boggio displayed a series of blue water droplets among the woods. Sylvie de Meurville installed a beautifully curved female body floating on the water in the most romantic and bewitching Medici Fountain in the Luxembourg Garden, which is very charming, and added the poetry of mother ducks leading ducklings playing around. This diverse special exhibition also gave visitors to the Luxembourg Garden unexpected surprises and discoveries, bringing more artistic atmosphere to the Flower City. The combination of Art Capital and Flower City represents the superior quality of life in Paris, and there is no reason why Paris has become a tourist metropolis.
