Discover The Jean-pierre Dutilleux Collection

How could anyone fail to be moved by Jean-Pierre Dutilleux's extraordinary adventure?

A Belgian ethnologist, explorer, photographer and film-maker, Jean-Pierre Dutilleux has devoted much of his life to encounters with indigenous peoples. From the depths of the Amazon to the most remote regions of the planet, he has traveled the world with tireless curiosity and a profound respect for the cultures he discovered.

The photograph presented here symbolizes this extraordinary journey. It shows Jean-Pierre Dutilleux standing beside Chief Raoni Metuktire, an emblematic figure of the Kayapó people, in front of a map of Brazil. This image alone illustrates years of exploration, encounters and friendship forged in the heart of the Amazon.

Signed and catalogued by Jean-Pierre Dutilleux, this photograph is a major testimony to his work and his commitment to the Amazonian peoples.

Through this collection, we invite you to discover an exceptional journey of travel, discovery and authentic encounters. The pieces that will be presented over the coming weeks are not mere ethnographic objects, but the witnesses of a life dedicated to the knowledge, transmission and respect of the world's cultures.
