'Ode a la Vie' by Moment Factory Illuminated Sagrada Familia

The iconic Sagrada Familia Church in Barcelona was transformed into the 'Ode a la Vie' by Moment Factory installation.

As a definitive Catalan landmark and possibly the most well-known work by Anoni Gaudi, the Sagrada Familia played host to this illuminating installation. This "ode to life" is the brainchild of Canadian Studio Moment Factory, who lit up the church's golden facade. The installation consisted of hypnotic multi-colored projections that filled the creases of the Sagrada Familia to create and inescapable light show.

With a lake alongside the structure, the light show embodied the chaotic nature of this Catalan structure with waves of reflected illumination. Frame Magazine draws meaning from this spectacular installation by stating that the installation was "suggesting an idea of God and nature going far beyond the traditional Christian iconography."
