Every summer, at Pile Pont Expo – which resembles a concrete cathedral and is situated beneath the bypass bridge in the town of Saint-Gervais – an artist is invited to create a site-specific installation that engages with the concrete architecture, the surrounding environment and the elements that give the site its unique character. In 2026, a.i.l.o (Atelier d’Immersion Lumineuse et Obscure), founded by Anna-Eva Berge, in collaboration with Fabrice Leroux, created an immersive work combining light and sound. The light of the sky penetrated the earth, invites visitors to engage with the artwork, the architecture and its sounds. The optical illusions challenge our perceptions and offer a new way of experiencing this exhibition space.
