This illuminated walk in Moscow was designed as part of the INSPIRATION festival that takes place every year in the VDNH exhibition grounds. On this particular occasion, due to restoration of VDNH, the festival took place in the Ostenkino Forest Park and an illuminated path was laid out in a 1 km circuit, looping around the pond where the stage for concerts and live shows is located.

The experience we offered visitors led them through familiar VDNH sites including the statues of the Friendship Fountain and the glorious Soviet pavilions, and through the mysterious, inspirational world of the forest itself - a place populated with animals, spirits and legends from the past and the future.

Our team consisted of a group of French artists and technicians and we had the pleasure of working with a Russian production team, technicians and artists to deliver this project in a very short time, scattered with the unexpected as always. What no one could have predicted was the public's enthusiasm for this nocturnal event in the forest: 600,000 people attended over the course of 10 evenings!
