This photo showcases the first movement in a suite of three smooth cinematic transitions that highlight different elements of the Neoclassical façade of the Musée des Beaux Arts de Lille. I worked on this project with my late friend, Jean Françoise Arnaud. Together, we were honored to receive the prestigious IES Paul Waterbury Award of Distinction in 1998. The illumination in the photo, by Jean Marc Charles, does not reveal its light sources; instead, it creates moments when the building's surface displays its decorative features through a play of highlights and shadows. Our approach was cinematic, treating lighting as a medium to create visual drama. Photo: Jean Marc Charles 1989
