Light, creativity and Nordic life all come together with LUMINO, Montreal’s essential winter event. Discover participative, contemplative and luminous works both indoors and out. Succumb to the charms of an evolving and stunning program that warms up cold winter nights in the Quartier des Spectacles and the downtown core.
This year, the Complexe Desjardins is taking part in this luminous program by hosting an artwork called Vortex. This artwork is suspended above the fountain and is connected to it to offer a fountain show with water jets and lights to awake your senses.
From January 11 to March 9, let water transport you to another world.
Enjoy a special visual and sensory experience with this luminous aerial installation inspired by the architecture of Complexe Desjardins. The work comprises luminous octagons arranged on top of one another, appearing to float gently over the indoor fountain. By taking
