Luminotherapie is available in Montreal’s Quartier des Spectacle. Described as a celebration of our northern climate, this is the 4th annual winter wonderland of light and sound.
Each evening, until February 2nd, Patrick Watson‘s special musical composition for the event, will entice people to walk amid the rods of light and sound evoking a field of wheat under the movement of the wind.
Rami Bebawi is one of the partners at Kanva, a Montreal architectural firm. He says the inspiration for ‘Between the Rows’ came from Montreal’s colonial past when the Seigneurial system allotted long rectangular lots that went down to the river to the early French settlers.
This winter installation begins each year with the annual Luminothérapie competition, that challenges Montreal’s many design talents to work with artists from other disciplines to create what’s described as an “immersive winter experience”
The Quartier des Spectacles winter projects have been such a success that they are now being installed in other places. Last year’s Iceburg installation will be featured at this year’s Plaisirs d’hiver winter festival in Brussels, Belgium.
