Gallery Cathedrale d'Images

Cathedrale d' Images is housed in a group of the gigantic Sarragan limestone quarries of Val d'Enver near Les Baux. The entrance is daunting and imposing in its cavernous aspect. As the chill, the darkness and the music increase a final colossal column offers up the amazing sensation, which is the Cathedral d' Images ... an awe-inspiring concept!


This is a feast of gigantic images projected onto the more than 12 m high walls, columns, roof and floor, in and around the inter-connecting vast galleries. The stunning slide-show from more than 50 projectors presents images which are a constantly changing 3D effect accompanied by beautiful, moving music. The overwhelming impact is of wonder and enchantment, the experience mesmerizing, enhanced by the belief that you are cocooned, almost on your own.


The original concept was the inspiration of the French photographer Albert Plecy, who established his research centre in the quarries to support his work and his vision 30 years ago. Directors Gianfranco Iannuzzi and Renato Gatto now continue this legacy. The theme of the show is changed annually, a time scale appreciated when you experience the production! Theme of this year's show is Venice. However inspiring the theme, it is only enhanced by the visual and auditory treatment which is the signature of the Cathedral d' Images.
