enlightenment. Mapping in Girona
In July, the III. International Mapping Festival (FIMG). FIMG is an audio-visual art event and interactive facade projections. At this event, architecture and art enter into a symbiosis. Thanks to audiovisual projections, the city’s facades are transformed into colorful works of art.
Mapping in the alleys of Girona
The digital achievements open up completely new perspectives for art today. With video mapping, the world becomes an art playground. Video Mapping or Projection Mapping is a multimedia technology that transforms all surfaces, mostly building facades, into giant screens.
Girona enchanted by the light
At the end of July 2016, the city of Girona also became the screen of the international mapping scene. City residents and guests were enchanted by the light for three nights. The large-format projections on some of the most beautiful buildings are a visual experience that should not be missed. Atmospherically accompanied by sound installations, color and form play let us immerse ourselves in a dream world away from reality.
relaxation from everyday life
To experience Girona at night, feel the vibrant life of the city, eat a few tapas in the next corner pub – e.g. in the El Doll at the entrance to the old town below the cathedral – and now and then for a glass of beer or cava in a Resting the streets, watching the hustle and bustle in the streets – that’s relaxation from everyday life. And if you can combine all this with an art spectacle, then the nightly city walk becomes an unforgettable experience. We’ll be there again next summer!

The festival FIMG has meanwhile also gained international importance and is a member of the ILO – the International Light Festival Organization. http://www.international-lightfestivals.org This now enables cooperation with the big light festivals all over the world – including with FIMA, the International Festival of Morelia (Mexico) http://fimapping.mx/inicio, or with a signal (Czech)http://www.signalfestival.com/2015/en/, the glow (Italy) http://www.glowfestival.it/2016/index.html, the Luz Latina (Colombia), the Circle of Light (Russia), the LPM (Italy), the BAM (Belgium) and with Rencontres Audiovisuales (France) http://www.rencontres-audiovisuales.org
… exciting cooperations are to be expected for the future. The exchange with international light artists will cause further sensations of this still young festival in the Catalan provincial capital Girona. We can be curious!
