Dandelion takes visitors on a floral journey that is utterly extraordinary. This journey through extraordinary plants challenges our sense of scale and highlights elements we’ve forgotten in our gardens. It invites us to shift our perspective and see the world differently. Much more than just a common weed, the dandelion possesses astonishing properties. Its ability to grow in the most unlikely places makes it a true symbol of resilience.
Last July, the new outdoor version of DANCING, the immersive show by Module x Collectif A/R, took place in the exceptional setting of the Musée de la Vieille Charité, as part of the Été Marseillais festival

POINT OF (NO) RETURN was at Vivid Sydney festival, the biggest outdoor immersive light installations festival of Australia
Created by Norwegian artist Anastasia Isachsen, whose country faces unprecedented arctic melting, the installation is a thought-provoking metaphor for how each individual impacts the environment – both for better and worse.
Glacial beauty draws you in, as crystalline blues and white swirl across a mesmerising 6m-diametre cylindrical LED screen. But step closer and the colours melt, transforming into a gorgeous, destructive storm. Move back, and the ice is restored, for now. Winner of a LIT Lighting Design Award, this interactive installation uses motion sensors and a stirring score by revered Norwegian composer Nils Petter Molvaer to ask an urgent question about of climate: Are we at the point of no return, or is there still hope?
WEB has woven its threads throughout February during the Copenhagen Light Festival Blending minimal materials with large-scale impact, WEB transforms simplicity into spectacle about the internet. This network that connects us has reshaped our relationship to the world. WEB reveals its ambivalence: captivating yet potentially perilous. Have we woven a web that unites us or one that holds us captive?
A magical moment for OCTO at a monastery in Vitoria-Gasteiz, the capital of the Basque Country, during the Umbra Festival Inspired by Confucius’s quote that the only constant in life is change, Octo symbolizes a world in the midst of transformation. Invited to contemplate the work for a few minutes, the viewer finds themselves immersed in an atmosphere straight out of a science fiction novel.

Artistic direction and lighting design: Émilien guesnard Music: Cédric Béron Production: Scenitz
A look back at last January with pictures of Émilien guesnard emblematic work “αsklipion”, displayed outdoor at minus 15 degrees on the occasion of the Vilnius Light Festival. αsklipion translates plants into light and sound. The work offers a soothing, almost therapeutic experience. Its light and sound programming is constructed in harmony with the medicinal properties of each plant. Relaxing, it recalls the processes of light therapy and music therapy. αsklipion is an ode to nature, a haven of peace in the bustle of the city.
When light meets architecture: LINES OF CONSTRUCTION reveals the geometric forms and proportions that guided the design of a building. Behind every enduring construction lies a foundation of sketches lines drawn in pursuit of balance, harmony, and structural clarity. This laser show brings that creative process back into focus, redrawing the foundational strokes that shape architecture. The white, precise beams evoke the language of technical drawing. In motion, they reveal the hidden logic of the building, trace geometric patterns aligned with its structure, and invite multiple layers of interpretation

Lumino curating: Cédric Le Borgne’s Travelers in Montreal
Scenitz is one of the guest curators of the Lumino festival organized by the Quartier des Spectacles Partnership in Montreal. As part of this event, discover the images of Les Voyageurs by French artist Cédric Le Borgne. Elusive explorers who contemplate the city, Les Voyageurs bring a touch of poetry to the urban space.
Emilien Guesnard and Scenitz Productions were in charge of part of the light show in the town of Saint-Genis Laval on December 6, with three custom-made installations.
Les Scintillons (Pia Vidal): for thousands of years, in Saint-Genis-Laval, the Light has been preparing itself. Hidden in the walls, stone, and concrete, it has infused itself into the fabric of the city, waiting for its moment. Today, it awakens to flood the world of humans once again. On the occasion of the Festival of Lights, guided by six Scintillons, it emerges from the shadows to reveal its messages to you.
Psychedelic Light Show (Emilien Guesnard & Cédric Beron): created from Emilien’s personal collection of vintage projectors, the Psychedelic Light Show offers a true alchemy of living light, projecting ever-changing shapes in a seventies atmosphere.
Moving Shadow (Emilien Guesnard): a light, a circular movement: almost nothing. Yet the rotation creates shadows that stretch, slide, and recompose themselves around the viewer. Everyone sees their body become a moving, fragile trace, redrawn with each turn. Moving Shadow offers an experience where light reveals presence as much as it makes it flicker.
