Born in 1955.
By definition, the Cloister is an isolated place, dedicated to meditation and reflection. The projected light transforms the place into a receptacle of active light. 12 beams of light, each one controlled and positioned on either side of the 20 arches, will be activated and projected onto the ground, the sky or the stone, modifying their colours, their shapes and their speed of sweep. A parabolic antenna of about 3 metres in diameter, made of metal mesh, positioned in the centre of the site, picks up a TV transmission wave. The captured and digitally processed programme is broadcast to the 12 video receivers in the chamber, with the screens facing the outside wall. This programme is analysed and associated with a pilot interface that manages the dynamic programmes applied to the 12 slave projectors.
Here, the lighting intervention does not impose the TV and its image content, it proposes another reading of it essentially made up of light.
