A theatrical scene with a suspended plot, light at the service of architectural expressions and symbolic heritage.
The Museum of Modern Art of the City of Paris is one of the emblematic symbols of Parisian architecture of the 1930s.
Its monumental power, witness of a flourishing artistic period, is based on the rigor of its drawing and the obvious simplicity of its forms.
It was the ideal support for a lighting project that revealed the building material, through its perimeter, which includes the facades on the President Wilson Avenue side - and on the New York Avenue side - with its entrance -, the square and its bas-reliefs, the patio gallery and its 12 columns, and finally its extraordinary colonnades on the President Wilson Avenue.
The color temperatures and intensity blend with the environment to create a symbiosis with it, as sensitive and natural as possible.
A lighting project that is not placed on the site, but truly emerges from it, impregnating itself with its daily variations.
The overall nighttime design uses focused light directions and almost stage-like light and shadow effects to give the site a grand theatrical effect.
