Visitors gather in a city square at night surrounded by illuminated flower-shaped light sculptures. Bright blue, purple and white projections fill the space with sparkling patterns and beams of light, creating an immersive outdoor artwork against a backdrop of historic buildings and glowing windows.

About Flower Power


Spectaculaires - Allumeurs d'images proposes Flower Power, a poetic and luminous installation inspired by its signature “Facéties”: playful artworks that transform public space through light and interaction. 


On Exchange Flags Square, seven large faceted flowers scatter thousands of colourful, shimmering reflections across the ground, surrounding architecture and visitors. An interactive jukebox invites the public to select tracks from a diverse playlist. Each piece is synchronised with a unique lighting sequence, creating a succession of immersive atmospheres. In direct response to the theme of “Together”, Flower Power creates a welcoming space where people of all ages and backgrounds can gather, dance, play and share a joyful moment. 


Although one visitor chooses the music, everyone experiences the transformation together. The seven individual flowers only reveal their full beauty when their reflections combine, symbolising how individuals create a stronger and more vibrant community when united.

Sustainability Information

Flower Power is made from existing rods, disco balls and benches that have already been used and toured for several years. Rather than producing a new one-off installation, they reuse these durable components and adapt them to each location. 


Its robust, modular construction is designed to withstand repeated assembly, outdoor display and dismantling, allowing the artwork to continue touring for many years. The heaviest components—the ballast weights used to secure the installation—are sourced locally at each venue rather than transported from one exhibition to another. This significantly reduces the weight of freight and the emissions associated with transportation. This approach limits the use of new materials, reduces waste and extends the installation’s overall lifespan.
