With «Le Grand Observatoire», the photographer Kristof Guez and the architect Benoit Warneys install in the district of Gour de l'Arche a machine to look at the city which takes the form of a «camera obscura». Inhabitants, passers-by and visitors are invited to enter this 12 m2 dark room with an archaic optical system to discover the projection of the large-format outdoor landscape in color that forms inside and without electricity. A way to rediscover the landscape and question the theme of social housing in France.
On the occasion of the European Heritage Days, Kristof Guez tells you his approach and accompanies you in the discovery of this stunning experience. A time of experimentation particularly adapted to young people will allow you to enjoy it also in family!
Go to the corner of Chemin de Saltgourde and Rue Raymond Raudier in the Gour de l'Arche district.
