The Image Mill – Quebec City
Robert Lepage and Ex Machina created an amazing visual tribute to Quebec City (12th best destination worldwide according to Condé Nast Traveler) for its 400th anniversary, The Image Mill.
“Representing the largest projection ever done, it requires the use of fine technology to project a huge quantity of images and films on the grain silos of the Quebec Harbour, an oversized screen, 600 feet wide by 30 meters high! In the hands of the creators, this huge mass of concrete is in constant transformation, which gives us the strange impression of it being alive and talking to us. Leaving the usual clichés behind, we discover the fascinating history of Quebec City with its upheavals, its controversies, and its great political and popular moments.” – Ex Machina
(Sorry for the quality, it is – obviously – an amateur video)
The production will run for the next five years.
