Mano X Alto
Comissioned Double Video Mapping for Mano x Alto Centre d’Arts
Ollioules, France
2024
This project, a double monumental video mapping, has been created specifically for the opening of the MANO X ALTO Centre des Métiers d'Art d'Ollioules. The installation consists of two distinct parts: one large-scale video mapping on the exterior facade of the museum and a second, more intimate projection inside the old chapel, animating the ceiling.
The video mappings explore the theme of metamorphosis, reflecting the evolution of the Centre d'Art from antiquity to the present day. The exterior facade is brought to life through living lines that unfold as though drawn in real time, revealing the architecture’s hidden stories and the passage of time. This creates an interplay between the physical building and its historical layers, bringing out the essence of what is usually unseen.
In contrast, the interior chapel ceiling transforms into a living fresco, inspired by the 17th-century frescos that adorned the space. This smaller-scale mapping evokes a sense of intimacy and animation, making the fresco seem to come alive. Through video projections, the once-static characters and scenes painted on the ceiling begin to move, blending historical imagery with modern digital techniques. The result is a contrast between the fixed nature of painting and the fluid, evolving world of projection art.
The project draws from the renovation work of Atelier LBCB Architecture, which revitalized the museum space, and was made possible with the support of Danaël Valbert.
