Christien Methot Debuts His Light:Bridge Across the Seine in Paris

International Light Artist Christien Methot enabled Parisians to see their beloved Seine River in a new light when he created the world’s first Light:Bridge with Ayrton Cobra phosphor laser source luminaires. For one July night, Methot, the Principal Lighting Designer at New York City-based Design One Lighting Design, used 10 powerful parallel beams of light to project a ‘bridge’ across the water near the Passerelle Leopold-Sedar-Senghor footbridge, which links the Left Bank’s Musee d’Orsay with the Right Bank’s Jardin des Tuileries.  From far away the light beams appeared to be a sturdy, physical crossing.  But as people approached it, the ethereal nature of a bridge built of light was revealed.
