Our cultural experiences in Quebec continued, thanks again to Lucie, Chantal’s sister, who took us to see “Imagine Monet,” a new, immersive exhibition in Image Totale (“The complete immersion of spectators in the work … reinforced by the synchronized diffusion of an accompanying musical soundtrack. Having selected the zones, angles and sizes of the projected images, as well as pathways for the “integrated and immersed” spectator in the Image Totale, Albert Plécy (the creator) transformed the notion of a passive viewer, seated in an armchair staring at images on a screen, to that of an active spectator, immersed in a universe of images where they are completely free to evolve and explore in their own way.” In other words, Monet’s paintings were projected, fading in and out, onto every wall and the floor of a large, warehouse space, including an S-shaped screen in the middle of the floor, so the viewer could walk around “immersed” in the paintings, while listening to a complimentary soundtrack.
Excellente bande sonore qui accompagnait la projection des oeuvres de Monet. Le peintre des nénuphars.
