Light – a tool for urban renewal (continued)
16h10 The illumination of the Saint Victor Abbey
Jean-Luc Hervé, Lighting Designer, Les Orpailleurs de Lumière
When the bells of the Saint Victor Abbey begin to ring, a light choreography begins, with the abbey gradually lighting up until it reaches a slightly blue tinge, equal to the colour of 6000° Kelvin in daylight. The light varies slowly going through several subtle shades evoking the cycle of a day. Thus each half-hour, triggered by the sound of the bells, this choreography of light goes from gold to silver.
16h30 Phare bleu n°1 – poetic landscape art in the harbour of Marseille
Stéphane Raguenet & Catherine Rouan, a creative duo of architects, Agence Architecture Raguenet Rouan (AARR)
The flashing lights of the “Phare Bleu n°1” lighthouse on Marseille’s coastline address the City as well as the entire harbour area. Using the uniformly varied rhythm of Morse code, it projects words and poems into the night sky. The Phare Bleu echos the various landscapes around the harbour. In the shadow: the natural and barren areas of the Côte Bleue; spattered with light: the city and port of Marseille never sleeping; black and sparkling with reflections: the eternal sea inviting you to travel. Phare Bleu is a contemporary work of art where light is the object, subject and substance of a poetic action.
16h50 Chromolithe lighting projects in Marseille
Patrice Warrener, Architectural Lighting Designer
The “Chromolithe” process, a polychromatic and architectural illumination system used to create light shows, has been applied on two sites in Marseille – the Prefecture and the St Ferreol church. This lighting technique based essentially on meticulous graphic research can also be displayed in different formats and combined with other techniques such as video and laser projections – and results in spectacular lighting events.
