The Lighting of the Concrete
The incinerator is a concrete volume with monumental spaces and a spiraling ramp for the trucks to access the upper floor and dispose of their load. The most effective way to give life to a building is to light its walls with different colours and emphasize its shapes and textures.
A pile of rocks designed by vlan paysages is meant to evoke urban construction and the rocks that were formerly extracted from the site.

The Ramp and the Containers
Steel containers house individual video installations, laying out the event on the site and linking the spaces together.

The Screens
The major interior spaces were used to project artworks. The artist Isabelle Hayeur emphasized the perspective of a tunnel with a screen showing an infinite path to an imaginary landscape.
