UNISSON

Helen Eastwood and Laurent Brun's Unisson is a graphic composition-decomposition show projected onto the facade of Saint-Jean Cathedral, playing with shapes to make sound and light vibrate in "unisound".

Every single fragment of the building is lit up in colour, with contrasts becoming stronger and stronger until everything is swarming, before being matched up again to form a new combination. All the fragments are different, yet once assembled, they continually come together to reconstruct a new version of the facade.

Helen Eastwood from Monaco and Laurent Brun from Lyon came together to form LNLO 10 years ago. As Helen is an interior architect and jewellery designer and Laurent,anelectronic engineer in video game design, it was not obvious they would end up working in light design. However, it all started with a prototype of a modular lamp imagined by Laurent and designed by Helen. Multiple copies of this light were then ordered for an installation for the 2008 Sleepless Nights in Paris, opening the doors to this world of light they have inhabited ever since. Their respective backgrounds make their work delicate, elegant, fun and interactive, in which contemplation flirts with the arcane, technology and metaphysics.
