Marie Lamoureux, the public relations senior advisor for Quartier des Spectacles, shared, “We’ve curated a diverse range of installations for Lumino this year. From stunning light displays to interactive artworks like ‘Sagesse de foule’ on Saint-Catherine Street where visitors can engage in a game of hide and seek with a playful light spot.”

Teo Leroo, the artist behind “Codex,” expressed his excitement, stating, “I’m thrilled to showcase my piece at Lumino this year at the BAnQ, offering a unique projection mapping experience that transports viewers through surreal landscapes in just five minutes.”
Explore the vast territory of Quartier des Spectacles, spanning one square kilometer up to St-Denis Street, where additional installations will be unveiled in January. Collaborating with students, the festival will feature interactive video projections and installations created in partnership with UQAM.
