Hôtel Windsor, heart of the OVNi Festival in Nice and a hotel where each room is a work of art in itself, invited Jérémy Griffaud to create a permanent in-situ immersive multimedia installation. Rooted in his work «Under the sky» for the Musée National Marc Chagall, the piece immerses guests in a world of biodiversity and the hybridization of living things.
An immersive installation that transforms the nighttime experience into a fantastical journey to the treetops. A true sanctuary nestled in the heart of the urban hustle and bustle, this artistic space invites visitors to rise above the city and settle among the treetops of a mysterious forest. In this unique ecosystem, the boundaries between kingdoms blur, giving way to previously unknown hybrid species: animal-like plants coexist with plant-like creatures, blurring our usual biological references. The immersion is total thanks to a rich scenography blending a painted mural, sculptures, and artistic objects, all enhanced by an animated film that breathes life into this dreamlike setting. To spend time in this space is to embrace a moment suspended in time, where one climbs toward the wild, only to descend back to civilization upon departure, the mind still filled with visions of this reinvented nature.
The space is composed of an all-over wall painting, lamp-sculptures, and freestanding sculptures, unified by a secret element: a concealed button that activates two projectors embedded in the walls, which then unfurl an animated panoramic film by the artist.
