Anthony McCall: Sculpting Light

As part of the ManiFeste 2026 festival, the Centre Pompidou and IRCAM invite Anthony McCall to present a major project, reflecting the deeply intermedial nature of his work. The Espace de projection at IRCAM will simultaneously host four monumental works by the artist, offering a rare experience: an encounter between light and music, in which each human presence actively contributes to the emergence of a shared perceptual space.
