For the Festival of Lights in Lyon, France (or Fete des Lumieres
Lyon), which begins on December 6 and runs through December 9, the
Tunnel of La Croix Rousse will be transformed into a surreal wonderland.
With light projections, the 1.8 km (or 1.1 mile) tunnel turns into an
outdoor gallery. Says Georges Képénékian, Deputy for Culture of the City
of Lyon, "It will be the first time in Europe that one combines the
functionality of a tunnel with an innovative creation. People should
even forget they are in a gallery."
Masters of illusion and trompe-l'oeil, Skertzò will present
Anamorphosis,
a sequence of video images that will be projected onto the walls and
the roof of the tunnel for pedestrians and cyclists to discover. Some of
the scenes visitors can expect to find include a plant world, river
courses, and the surrounding area of Croix-Rousse soaring…
Tunnel “modes doux”
