In The Studio follows internationally acclaimed artist and writer Edmund de Waal as he creates new site-specific work for the Muse虂e Nissim de Camondo, a hidden gem in a quiet corner of Paris.

Once a flourishing household at the centre of Belle 脡poque Parisian society, the magnificent building and its spectacular collection of French eighteenth-century art became a quiet memorial for the son who was to have inherited it, but who tragically, died in the First World War.

This house and its history holds great meaning for Edmund de Waal. As he recounted in his bestselling memoir The Hare with Amber Eyes, the Ephrussis, a branch of his own family lived on the same street, at the time this grand house was being built, over a century ago.

Edmund de Waal guides us through his creative response to the haunting history of the Camondo family, the last of whom were killed at Auschwitz. We follow him in his studio as he works on a multi-faceted installation for a unique setting, navigates the challenges of creating during lockdown and grapples with the notions of what it means to create a fitting memorial.
