More information about this exhibition and the artists:
Every year, France’s flourishing cultural scene sees a steady stream of museum openings, ambitious renovation plans for monuments, and brand-new festivals. Such robust activity is a blessing for the tourism industry, as international interest in French culture continues to grow. Inspired by Imagine France – A fantastic voyage, a successful exhibition featuring photographer Maia Flore that opened in 2014, Atout France and the Institut français set out to create a new artistic travelling showcase of French cultural attractions. France eMotion – The animated journey, is the fruit of a close collaboration between the two agencies and exhibition curator Muriel Enjalran. Four photographers from around the globe—Ishola Akpo of Benin, Edu Monteiro of Brazil, David Schalliol of the United States, and Lourdes Segade of Spain—were asked to travel to different parts of France during the summer of 2017 to photograph 35 cultural attractions. To bring these photographs to life, French artists Julie Chheng and Thomas Pons created an animated character that changes form as it moves through the images: a touch of augmented reality that can be viewed with the help of a free and easy-to-use mobile app. The result is an artistic experience like no other. With its combination of photography and digital animation, France_ eMotion takes viewers on an eye opening journey to discover—or rediscover—France’s rich heritage. After debuting in Paris at the Conciergerie, a tourist site operated by the Centre des Monuments Nationaux, the exhibition will be on the road until 2020, making stops in Spain, Italy, Germany, Brazil, the United States, and Benin.
