13 mars 2025 ::: Rencontre avec Aurélien Jeanney
Purple Rain tells the story of four plant lovers, patiently waiting for the rain to bring their flowers to life. Augmented reality gives us a second narrative, a sequel to the image painted on the wall. Purple Rain doesn’t just adorn a wall, it tells a story, a story of connection between man and nature, a story of wonder and contemplation. It invites passers-by to pause, to lift their eyes to the sky to admire the ephemeral beauty of purple rain, and to meditate on the transformative power of nature.
