Material for projection - A project for Galerie des Enfants
The use of overhead projectors became widespread at the end of the 1950s then grew rare with the advent of sophisticated digital tools. Today, artists from a wide variety of disciplines have decided to rehabilitate the overhead projector. By inviting the younger audience to play with overhead projectors, the Galerie des Enfants is changing into a large studio of ephemeral creation, renewed over and over again. From the shaft of light, a host of disparate objects create infinite compositions blending shapes, matter and colours. The walls are constantly re-drawn and animated by the large-scale projections of images created in situ by visitors. And echoing these interactive devices, performances from artists will unveil a poetic and dreamy world with the help of this strange machine we still call the overhead projector.
