Galerie Jocelyn Wolff opened in October 2003 with a solo show by Clemens von Wedemeyer in a very small space in Belleville in East Paris. Most of represented artists had their first solo show at Galerie Jocelyn Wolff. In March 2006, the gallery moved to a new space in the same neighborhood, rue Julien-Lacroix.

A convergence of two myths—the modern totalitarianism depicted in Fritz Lang’s Metropolis in 1926 and modern China, whose staggering growth obsesses the West. In Variation sur Metropolis, one fiction meets another.
In 2004, we travelled to China in order to prepare a re-adaptation of the feature film Metropolis.
These are the materials we collected during our research, the interviews we conducted and the discussions we have had with the workers and the architects of Chinese cities.
