Putting it into perspective
Night projections — Place du Capitole
Passed with a brush in a sort of trompe-l'oeil, the white video light projected on the central part of the Capitol's façade generates a new reading of the building through successive touches.

The mouse marker acts directly on the façade itself in a game of luminous construction/deconstruction. Virtual or reality?
