Carrieres de Lumieres Turns a Provence Quarry Into a Digital Art Canvas
A former limestone quarry near Les Baux-de-Provence doubles as a room-sized canvas—on every side. According to AD HOC NEWS, Carrieres de Lumieres uses video projections and music to spread moving artwork across stone walls, pillars and floors, giving an industrial space a cultural second life rather than hiding its excavated structure.
The actual story.
AD HOC NEWS’s September 21, 2026 article describes an established venue, not a new launch. It traces the quarry’s artistic history to Jean Cocteau’s use of the location for his 1960 film Le Testament d’Orphée. In 1978, the space became the sound-and-light venue Cathédrale d’Images; since 2012, it has operated as Carrieres de Lumieres under Culturespaces. The article says programmes play on continuous loops, allowing visitors to enter at different points and move through the illuminated chambers. Its account focuses on the setting and projection format, without naming a current exhibition or providing a programme schedule.
The accompanying AI-generated illustration imagines the quarry’s change of use; it is not a historical photograph or a depiction of a verified current exhibition.
At Carrieres de Lumieres, digital art gives a former quarry another use—and the limestone remains part of the picture.
Receipts, not rumors.
