What is Carrieres de Lumiè res? This is a unique exhibition of light and music, consisting of light projections of great paintings and photographs, organized in an abandoned bauxite quarry. The theme of the expositions changes every year, in 2015 it is dedicated to the great Italian painters.
The show itself lasts about 30-40 minutes, after a short pause everything repeats. You can stay inside as long as you want, walk freely, look and take pictures (only flash photography is prohibited).
Feelings indescribable! When pictures are not just framed and on the wall, they are everywhere...They are all around you...
In projection on huge uneven walls (this unevenness adds a stunning volume to the images), on the ceiling and on the ground...Music sounds...A separate melody for each author - sometimes disturbing, sometimes inviting and passionate, sometimes quivering, sometimes tender and romantic...Pictures begin to speak with you through not only sight, but also hearing ...They move along the walls, replacing each other, flowing into each other ...Magic! And it’s not clear anymore, goosebumps from +15 or from this feeling of penetration deep into the works .. .
