© LAURENT FACHARD, MISE EN COULEUR URBAINE, LE PONT SAINT PIERRE, 2002
He lives and works in Lyon (France).
Toulouse, a city of natural lights, also celebrates the urban night and puts on colours. When night comes, all the streets along the Nuits Blanches route are immersed in a symphony of coloured lights. The aim is to give a poetic vision of the city by night, a polychrome metaphor that celebrates and magnifies the urban specificity of the site through colour.
• a red atmosphere for the places of passage, because red creates an atmosphere in which one is uncomfortable and encourages one to circulate.
• at the ends and in the projection areas, blue lights attract and guide.
• the atmosphere is in harmony with the light of the exhibition venues or the Soirées Nomades as you approach them.
• at the end of the tour, the Bazacle's causeway is highlighted and plays with waves of light sweeping continuously from one bank to the other.
For the city dweller and the spectator, this route will constitute a truly sensory and new experience [in contrast to the anaesthetic light of the sodiomised night].
