Les Bassins des Lumières
Bordeaux, France
Bordeaux’s former submarine base gives Les Bassins des Lumières a scale and atmosphere unlike a conventional gallery. Moving projections spread across concrete walls and reflect in the water of the old basins, accompanied by music. The industrial structure is as much a part of the experience as the images themselves. Check the current programme before booking, because artists and presentations change. This is especially appealing to visitors interested in the reuse of historic buildings and a less traditional way of encountering art.
