Michel Verjux’s oeuvre revolves around the idea of éclairage, or illumination. Using theater spotlights and projectors, the artist, who was born in 1956 in Chalon-sur-Saône and now lives in Paris, intervenes in the architectural structures of buildings and exhibition spaces, and thus creates immaterial, temporary images.
In St. Gallen the artist will use three projectors to magically illuminate the historical architecture of the Lokremise as well as the Water Tower, which was built by the pioneer of the use of concrete in architecture, Robert Maillart (1872–1940).
