Perret Tower
Duration: approx. 5 min
► The Architect
What if someone could awaken the dreams hidden within matter?
The Architect takes possession of the Perret Tower. A mysterious, almost invisible presence that seems capable of altering reality itself. Under his influence, the tower transforms, metamorphoses and traverses different realms of the imagination. Life, matter, abstraction and the unknown converge in a single movement, with no clear boundary between the real and the imaginary. Little by little, the Perret Tower is no longer merely a monument. It becomes a source of dreams, a space where time seems to lose its meaning and where every transformation opens up a new possibility.
Who is really manipulating the tower? Is it the Architect who transforms the monument, or is it the tower itself that reveals what it holds within?

Hôtel de Berny
Duration: approx. 5 min
► Meditastation
Meditastation transforms public space into a sensory refuge of collective calm and connection by translating sound waves into a visual spectrum of light and color. Inspired by Ernst Chladni’s cymatics and acoustic minimalism, the work guides the audience on a narrative journey that evolves from initial chaos into perfect geometric synchronization across the facade.

Notre-Dame Cathedral (Gate of the Golden Virgin)
Duration: approx. 4 min
► Between Flows
Out of chaos, a profound order occasionally emerges, and through relentless motion, tangible form is born. This fundamental principle dictates the dynamic choreography of thousands of individual particles, all propelled and guided by powerful external forces. Rather than settling into a single, permanent state, the entire system exists in a perpetual flux, constantly assembling and then dissolving breathtaking, yet entirely momentary structures. Frequently, this mesmerising swarm aligns to trace the monumental silhouette of a gate. In these moments, it moves with the focused energy of a rushing river faithfully following its carved bed. Yet, just as quickly, the unseen current shifts, allowing the elements to break away and flow completely free and unbound.

Video mapping & dance performance – Medieval garden
Duration: approx. 5 min
Showing every 10 minutes approximately
► Figure of speech
Figure of speech is an allegory of loneliness, in a world where everyone withdraws into themselves. Amidst motionless figures, a body seeks an echo, a glance, a response. But the figures around it remain frozen, unresponsive. A brief, poetic exploration of living together.
Performance: Leelou Lancel, Sophiane Lebrun
Animation: Simon Lebon
Stage direction: Benjamin Durand
Light creation: Simon Lebon
Original music: Birdd – Renaud Watine

L’Homme sur sa bouée
Duration: approx. 4 min
► ASCENSION
This mapping takes us on a journey as a swimmer ascends from the depths of the abyss to the water’s surface. It is one long, continuous crescendo: the higher we rise, the more the darkness and muffled sounds give way to light, a teeming abundance of underwater life and vibrant music, until we emerge into the open air.
Creation and animation: Simon Lebon
Original music: Irvin Rousseau

Amiens Water Sports Centre facade
Duration: approx. 4 min
► SILLAGES
SILLAGES is a visual journey through memory, movement and transformation, inspired by the history of the Sport Nautique d’Amiens and the Base Nautique’s deep connection with water.
The building first awakens through its own architecture: lines, windows, grids and geometric modules are traced, activated and gradually transformed into a living mechanism. As the structure begins to open, a hidden liquid presence is revealed within, filling the façade with currents, reflections and particles of light. From this water emerges an ethereal female presence not a literal character, but a poetic embodiment of the memory held within the place. Formed from light, fluid lines and suspended particles, she appears, dissolves into the current and eventually crosses the entire façade, leaving behind a luminous wake.
In the final moments, the movement, water and light are slowly drawn back into the building, converging on a small upper window until only a final trace remains.
SILLAGES evokes the idea that every movement, every body and every moment leaves something behind an invisible imprint carried through time, like the wake of a vessel passing through water.
