Frank Gehry

paris - france

A conversation between architectural volumes, glass sails and the sky. 

How can a lighting spectacle unveil the beauty of the architectural complexity and sophisticated construction techniques of an iconic building? Gehry’s LVMH museum is a spectacle in and of itself. In order to create a beautiful sequence for the opening event we returned to the materiality of the building - and the artistic and design opportunities that might arise there. 

Through on-site research and hundreds of storyboard iterations we devised a running ‘script’ and used the complex glass forms to our advantage; exploring the concept of hide and reveal within the inherent opaqueness of the sails. We created a conversation between the architectural volumes, the glass sails and the evening Parisian sky.
