Come for the Instagram, stay for the art


The water lilies will bloom again and with complete fidelity to Monet's original images when En Voyage opens in October, but can the show go beyond pulling off a superb technological feat? Could it, possibly, add to the expectations of an audience already familiar with immersive adaptations of Monet's works?
Garin is confident that En Voyage can provide "an additional experience for us to appreciate the creations of the master in all their details, colors and diversity". Prior to their exposure to the immersive phase of the show, viewers get a chance to walk through an "introduction room" to gain "insights into Monet's life, ways of working, and research into movement and light".
"Then the scale and technology of the immersive projection … magnify for us every single detail from many artworks, allowing us to see and feel the large brushstrokes and small touches," Garin adds.
