In the year of Mont-Saint-Michel Abbey’s 1,000th anniversary celebrations, as visitor numbers hit an all-time high, we designed and staged this immersive stroll as a counterpoint to the frenetic activity on the site, as a hiatus in today’s busy and restless world. The technological installations, which had to be carefully concealed within the confines of the location, took visitors on a physical, spiritual and emotional journey of elevation to the highest reaches of the so-called Wonder of the Western World. The chancel of the abbey church underwent a metamorphosis before visitors’ eyes, fostering a moment of timeless introspection on universal values.
