The project was a finalist for the 2001 Quartier des spectacles “Create Winter” contest.

The aurora borealis, a rare site in Montreal, is a luminous phenomenon characterized by colourful dancing forms in the night sky. The ‘Aurora Montrealis’ project offered passerby’s the possibility to experience the magic of this celestial phenomenon near the Saint- Laurent metro station located in the heart of the city’s center. The hanging installation’s goal was to illuminate the winter sky on gray days, beautifully contrasts the blue sky on the coldest days, and shine bright all through the night.
