As soon as night falls, light and image projections take over the old town, inviting the public to take a different look at this district steeped in history.

 

The theme of the night-time tour is Light and Transparency. Water screens, tulles and projection surfaces are all transparent. The staging is based on the images of three photographers.

 

Keiichi Tahara

Born in 1951, he lives in Kyoto, Japan.


The different series of his work (windows, portraits, bodies, polaroids, flashes, etc.) are presented in the form of audio-visual modules projected onto a giant screen in the open air, in the Cour Caviole. In the cloister, photographs on glass slabs are arranged around the ambulatory. In the centre, a white structure reflects the light, allowing them to be read in transparency.

 

Loïs Greenfield

Born in 1949.

 

Her photographs are suspended, like the bodies that compose it, and captured by invisible screens (almost transparent tulles) stretched in the narrow streets. The bodies appear all the more aerial and their positions in space all the more strange. On a water screen on the lot, other cortps float in the liquid element.

 

Deidi Von Schaewen

Born in 1941, she lives in Berlin, Germany.

 

Her photographs are images of ephemeral structures such as scaffolding and tarpaulins on buildings or monuments under construction, living pseudo-architectures that conceal them and temporarily replace them. These images are projected on different façades of the exhibition, as if they were somehow restored in a dizzying mise en abîme: images, born from the image of a hidden wall, on a wall that they hide.
