“Les Luminéoles” is the name of an installation by the French collective “Porté par le Vent”. “Carried by the wind” is also the program when the poetic creatures filled with helium and light take to the air and dance with the wind. The public space is redefined by the integration of these creations. The Luminéoles have already floated through various cities and in recent years have conquered London, Moscow, Singapore, Istanbul, Lyon and Mexico City, among others, in a delicate and fragile way.

Location: Next Liberty

Christophe Martine, the founder of the “Porté par le Vent” collective, discovered his passion for paragliding back in 1987 at the age of 14 and has perfected this passion over the years. He ultimately turned his hobby into his profession: as a sports teacher, he has been working with his students on the subject of hang gliding for almost twenty years. Based on the Luminéoles, Christophe Martine has since developed several programs with light art works that have resounding names such as “Le Bal des Luminéoles” or “Jardin d’hiver”. The Luminéoles were created in collaboration with Fête des Lumières Lyon.
