FRENCH PAVILION, EXPO 2020 DUBAÏ
Lumière, Lumières
We are in charge of the art direction for the lighting for the French Pavilion for the Universal Expo Dubai 2020: “Lumière, Lumières”.
Our project is aimed at displaying a seamless sensation of light from the outside court to the scenography inside. The Pavilion gives a continuous, immersive experience favourable for daydreaming.
Matter and light merge: the building quivers, breathes and undulates. The façade becomes a skin shaken by a shiver.
This immersive experience offers a dreamlike narrative to the 25 million expected visitors.
