The little story that became big !
Since it creation in 2012 for the event « Luminothérapie » in Montreal, moonGARDEN has toured the world from Lyon’s Fête des Lumières, Bruxelles, Jerusalem, Washington to Beijing.
Already seen by over a million people, it is without doubt an invitation to dream.
Its look is inspired by set theory, a branch of mathematics that illustrates the notions of sets and belonging. For us, moonGARDEN represents the ideal metaphor for a more inclusive world.
The installation consists of 6 to 25 feet of self-inflated spheres ranging from 6 to 30 feet in diameter. The spheres are laser-cut according to a predefined storyline, then assembled on turntables.
The sequence, based on a single jet of light, generates a magical animation reminiscent of the lamps that made shadows dance on the walls of our childhood.
The content of the shadow theater can be customized to the customer's wishes, according to a chosen theme or to match the history and atmosphere of a town or its inhabitants.
A multitude of uses...
These majestic spheres not only host delicate shadow theaters. They also host interactive applications, video and sound content to create an entirely new storytelling experience.
Thanks to these qualities, the spheres have rapidly become natural urban screens, embodying a narrative playground ready for public participation…
