Come for the Instagram, stay for the art
Garin had a role in bringing Claude Monet: The Spirit of Place to the Hong Kong Heritage Museum in 2016. Drawing over 200,000 visitors, that exhibition too had an immersive component. En Voyage is mounted on a grander scale and promises to be a jaw-dropping achievement in architectural mapping. Garin reveals that the show has been designed as a "continuous journey, allowing us to discover Monet's evolution in terms of technique, topics and vision". The 36-minute show guides the viewer through "the key moments of Monet's life: the caricatures of figures he drew as a child; the exhibition that launched the impressionist movement; the passing of his wife Camille; and finally, settling in Giverny". Monet famously designed his Giverny estate landscape himself, building a lake and filling it with water lilies because he wanted to paint them.
