Egg of Medicis

The Egg of Medicis is a sound-reactive light installation
Commissioned by Narthex Festival

A giant resin sculpture at the heart of the role-playing story created for the Narthex Festival.

The castle hosting the event once welcomed Catherine de Medicis, Regent of France (1560–1563). Drawing from this history, we imagined that she had discovered strange glowing crystals within its walls — relics capable of opening portals between worlds during the exact dates of our festival.

As the narrative unfolded, participants embarked on quests to learn how to communicate with the Egg, unlocking the knowledge required to activate the portal.

When the portal finally opened, after many fails, the wise creature Hildegarde, guardian of the Xenoworld, appeared. They guided everyone through a collective meditation on love and transformation.
