This autumn, the Atelier des Lumières in Paris invites us to dive into the depths of the underwater world with its new immersive exhibition, Oceans. It's a journey into the unknown and infinitely beautiful that we have tested, loved, and embraced.

After taking us to the most beautiful corners of the world through Yann Arthus Bertrand's photographs, taking us on a dreamy journey through Japan, and even leading us into space, the Atelier des Lumières immerses us in the depths of the sea, where we can meet the most beautiful species that inhabit our oceans. We made it there, we met them, and we got lost in this underwater world. We even dreamed a little... and it was magical. Presented by Culturespaces Digital and Spectre Lab studio, Oceans, the Immersive Odyssey takes us on a thirty-minute journey to discover the jewels of the sea as captured by renowned photographer Brian Skerry. His breathtaking underwater photos will leave you breathless. He has explored the depths of the sea for 40 years. He has worked tirelessly to capture the beauty and diversity of marine life. From colorful coral reefs to majestic whales, his photographs transport us to a whole new world.Grabbing hands with National Geographic, Brian Skerry has won eleven times at the Wildlife Photographer of the Year competition. He collaborates with several foundations for ocean conservation. In short, we could say that Brian Skerry has become the master of the waters on Earth. And today, he decides to take a break from his grand exploration journeys to collaborate with the Atelier des Lumières and invite the people of Paris to discover the beauty of underwater life, in a whole new dimension. "I absolutely want people to fall in love with the ocean," he tells us today. For us, it's a successful bet. An image is shown here. A journey in three stages The first part of the immersive exhibition explores the tropical seas, in the Caribbean or the Antilles. We start by meeting playful dolphins, colorful fish, and thousands of corals. Then, we venture into the depths of the Atlantic Ocean and the Great Barrier Reef, where we encounter majestic whales, graceful manta rays, and fascinating marine species. Finally, we dive into the polar oceans, where we come face to face with icebergs, penguins, and the incredible beauty of the Arctic and Antarctic landscapes. With stunning visuals and mesmerizing soundscapes, this exhibition is a true underwater adventure. So, dive in and get ready to be amazed!We continue with the intimidating sharks on "Born to be wild" by Steppenwolf, the old turtles on "Beyond the sea" by Bobby Darin, the majestic manta rays on "Glory Box" by Portishead, the great whales on the sound of mixing waves with their chimerical songs... The exhibition is a sequence of breathtaking images and joyful, even moving music.

Once again, we meet the most imposing animals of the marine world: sharks, orcas, and whales. Our favorite? The enchanting journey through a swarm of mesmerizing jellyfish. Magical. Then the third part takes us to the polar seas for an icy walk in the midst of icebergs and penguins.ace, where the icy fountain is terribly felt. Here, polar bears roam the icy floors amidst bands of penguins, who sometimes dive to join the seals and belugas. What a great way to get a good iodine shot, a refreshing break, and a good dose of wonder. The added bonus? You can listen to and replay the exhibition's soundtrack on Spotify!
