VIDEO PROGRAMME
Japon, Archipel des Arts | 2nd year BUT MMI du Puy-en-Velay students | 2025
This making-of, showing the behind-the-scenes of the creation of this project, is being shown inside the museum throughout the duration of the exhibition Japon, Archipel des Arts (August 8, 2025 – January 4, 2026).
Using documents provided by the museum outlining the exhibition’s content, a phase of discovery, research, and reflection allowed them to individually familiarize themselves with Japanese culture (its history, symbols, etc.). Each student then had to design a 40-second animated graphic composition and a spatialized sound piece with an aesthetic that complemented the museum’s facade. Working in groups based on each other’s ideas, the methodological approach and organization within each team were therefore crucial for creating a personal animation, while also ensuring its coherence and temporal placement within the overall sequence.
The three teams of around ten students, supervised by 5 teachers, were honored during an evening of conferences during which their complete work, lasting 30 minutes, was presented on a 3D model.
For the projection on the museum’s facade, a selection of works was made to reduce the video to approximately 7 minutes. This projection recounts renewal and rebirth, and concludes with an invitation to discover the Japon, Archipel des Arts exhibition inside the museum. The projection took place every evening from July 4 to September 14, 2025, as the opening act of the illuminations planned for the museum as part of Puy de Lumières (an annual projection mapping show on the monuments of Le Puy-en-Velay).
