Every summer since 2017, Atmosud invests the streets of the City of the Popes and offers a pedestrian route that takes on its full meaning at nightfall, when eight buildings in the city are adorned with video mapping. For this 2022 edition, the air quality observatory is joining forces with Artcom diffusion and Les Orpailleurs de Lumière. Together, they designed a project entitled “Sur l’air du temps”, which addresses issues of nature and environmental protection, focusing on air quality.

How to breathe better?
The highlight of the show will take place at the Saint-Didier church. The monument will become the support for a sound and light show divided into five scenes, which will play with the architecture of the building and thus create optical illusions. The viewer is invited to wonder how to create a world in which we would breathe easier.
On April 4, 2022, the World Health Organization presented an alarming finding: 99% of the world’s population breathes air that exceeds the limits set.
The trailer of the event is to be discovered here.
The eight monuments that will light up every evening from 9:30 p.m. to 11:30 p.m.:
– Petit Palais Museum
– City Hall
– Church of the Celestines
– Church of Saint Didier
– Place Carnot
– Saint Jean Tower
– Place Portal Matheron
– Bell tower of the Augustins
