Van Gogh at The Careers of Lights, Les Baux, France, September 2019
The Carrières de Lumières, a "luminous" idea. Les Baux de Provence was known for its stones and quarries...
After the closure of the quarries, it was really sad not to use these huge caves with smooth walls dotted with streaks. An idea has germinated...
Why not use these huge cavities to project images into them. The structure of the stone giving a different dimension to the projected images. I attended the first screenings in the 80s, the subject of which was "The conquest of space". It was wonderful.
Today, the technical means are much more advanced. Because of this, it's not just projected images, the images are transformed into animation.
The show honors this great painter that is Van Gogh.
