A pleasant surprise at Saint Sulpice was the LED triptych installed by artists Jim Campbell and Benjamin Bergery, working under the name 'thismediathing'. The LED installation gives a very low light working in harmony with the church interior and the imagery relates to Biblical themes, filtered through through the reinterpretation of Renaissance representation. The faces are blurred and the content ambiguous, yet contextualised through the location. The dim light of the LEDs and the church interior emphasising the remote reverence of the work. Churches make fine galleries, as I suppose was one of their original functions... Saint Sulpice itself also housing some stunning painting by Delacroix.
