Laurent Fachard

Laurent Fachard has been coloring French city nights for more than forty years. From Aix and Chalons in 1974, Villeurbanne in the eighties, the recreation of the Festival des Lumières in Lyon in 1998 until today with Les Grandes Eaux Nocturnes in Versailles, he is the author of original ephemeral and perennial lighting concepts.

Invited by Le Printemps de Septembre in 2001, 2002 and 2003, Laurent Fachard is reactivating his project for the chromatic treatment of public lighting this year. Playing with colors and intensities, without adding any light source, Laurent Fachard's projects are sensitive and sensory experiences on a city scale. This light work also has a signage function since it highlights the banks of the Garonne, a privileged arena for the celebration of the 30th anniversary of the festival. In addition, for the 2021 edition, an unprecedented production invests the pavement of Espace EDF Bazacle.

With the main support of EDF Hydro Sud-Ouest and Rosco, Eiffage, SPIE and Citelum, the Public Lighting Department of the City of Toulouse and Lycée Urbain-Vitry
