📍 Arles Amphitheater ▪️ iDzia installation: the sound, the video, the lighting iDzia at the Arles Amphitheater for DeliDrinks’ 20th Business event To celebrate its 20th anniversary, the Arles-based company DeliDrinks organized a grand anniversary party at the Arles Amphitheater. For the event, we were responsible for the entire technical setup: sound, lighting, and video projection. 20 Years of Beverages and Snacks Founded in 2006 by Tanguy Péchon, after several trips that inspired him to bring concepts from foreign coffee shops to France, DeliDrinks specializes in the distribution of beverages and snack products to the foodservice industry. Based in Arles, the company now delivers throughout France and Europe. It has established itself as a leading supplier to the foodservice industry, thanks in particular to a product lineup tailored to new consumer trends. An Evening Full of Highlights The business event brought together DeliDrinks’ employees, partners, and associates for a sit-down dinner, complete with catering and a cocktail bar. The entertainment lineup included musicians and dancers from the Gitano Family, a drag queen show featuring Don Giovanna, and a DJ set that played continuously until the end of the event. In addition, the celebration featured a speech by the founder, accompanied by a video chronicling the company’s founding, the key milestones in its development, and the employees and partners who have contributed to its success over the past 20 years. The Iconic Setting of the Roman Amphitheater Built at the end of the 1st century A.D., the Arles Amphitheater is 136 meters long and could accommodate approximately 25,000 spectators. Designated a historic monument and listed as a UNESCO World Heritage Site, this amphitheater remains the most visited site in Arles today. It regularly hosts performances, bullfights, and numerous cultural events. Working in such a venue means dealing with unique architecture and acoustics, which require precise adaptation of the equipment... A technical setup by iDzia For this event, iDzia implemented three technical components: Sound: Installation of a system tailored to the open space and the constraints of the Arènes, to ensure all the evening’s highlights were covered. Lighting: Installation of spotlights all around the ruedo as well as within the dining areas, with architectural lighting highlighting the corridors leading to the Arènes. Video: Screening of the DeliDrinks 20th-anniversary film and installation of an LED screen. This type of project at heritage sites is an integral part of iDzia’s core business. We are regularly called upon to work at the Arènes d’Arles, which has allowed us to develop genuine expertise in working with unique sites, large spaces, and the lighting challenges specific to unconventional venues.

📍 Montmajour Abbey, Arles ▪️ iDzia installation: the sound When Words Take Root in Stone From June 9 to 12, 2026, the MO(n)TMAJOUR event featured four evenings dedicated to literature at Montmajour Abbey, combining readings and discussions in an exceptional historic setting. The iDzia team was pleased to provide technical support for this event and contribute to its organization. Montmajour Abbey, a landmark on the outskirts of Arles Founded in the 10th century by Benedictine monks, Montmajour Abbey is a jewel of Provençal Romanesque heritage, designated a historic monument and managed by the Centre des monuments nationaux. It is against this backdrop that the MO(n)TMAJOUR festival takes place: a venue where the natural acoustics of the stone and the light of summer evenings create an atmosphere conducive to storytelling. The 2026 Edition: Four Evenings, Four Worlds This year, MO(n)TMAJOUR presented an eclectic program centered around nightly events : On Tuesday, June 9, the festival opened with Valentine Goby, accompanied by guitarist Xavier Llamas, for a literary concert based on the book Le Palmier. On Wednesday, June 10, Marin Fouqué and Samira Negrouche performed a duet based on Pente raide. On Thursday, June 11, Carol Trébor brought the figure of Marc Bloch to life through her narrative Marc Bloch: Non au déni de l'Histoire. On Friday, June 12, the closing night took the form of a literary ball conceived by Fabrice Melquiot : an invitation to dance with words. A Partnership Centered on Live Readings Behind this event are two key institutions: the Association du Méjan and Actes Sud Publishing. Founded in 1984, the Association du Méjan has been shaping Arles’s cultural life for over forty years through a program that blends music, visual arts, lectures, and readings. Actes Sud, founded in Arles in 1978, is much more than a publishing house: it embodies an independent editorial vision that has transformed a provincial town into a major center of Francophone literature. It is in this spirit that the two organizations have been jointly hosting these reading evenings, continuing their commitment to living literature since 2016. Sound Design in the Service of Cultural Transmission Providing sound reinforcement in a historic monument is a challenge that requires both precision and sensitivity. For these public readings, iDzia deployed a speaker system designed to project the speakers’ voices clearly and naturally, without altering the venue’s intimate atmosphere. As we regularly provide services for cultural events in Provence, our team is well-versed in the unique constraints of heritage sites and outdoor spaces. It is this expertise that enables us to support projects like MO(n)TMAJOUR: events where every nuance counts and where nothing is lost, neither the breath nor the silence.

📍 Boulevard des Arènes, Nîmes ▪️ iDzia Installation: the sound, the lighting, and the structure When Event Planning Meets Tradition The Pentecost Feria in Nîmes is a popular event that brings an entire region together to offer a unique experience to over a million visitors. Convinced that behind every major celebration lies true technical expertise, we are proud to have contributed to the 2026 edition by installing a bodega: La Champagneraie du Lisita. The Feria and Its Bodegas: The Heart and Soul of Southern France’s Festival With Hispanic origins and deeply rooted in the culture of southern France, ferias emerged from bullfighting traditions and trade fairs. They have established themselves as communal celebrations where music, cuisine, and conviviality come together in the streets, from morning until night, and often into the next day. Thus, the city of Nîmes is honoring its local traditions for the 2026 edition, from Thursday, May 21, to Monday, May 25, featuring bullfights at the Arènes de Nîmes, abrivados in the streets, bandas enlivening the Écusson district, a Sevillian village, a Gypsy village, and a craft market. At the heart of this festive experience, the bodegas play a central role. These pop-up venues are, in fact, true gathering spots. People dance, sing, eat, and toast there, in a carefully curated setting that makes all the difference between a simple street bar and a true hub of life. The official list of 2026 bodegas included around twenty establishments, among which was La Champagneraie du Lisita, located just a stone’s throw from the Roman amphitheatre. The iDzia Installation for La Champagneraie du Lisita A successful wine bar relies on carefully controlled sound and lighting, as well as a structure capable of safely accommodating hundreds of guests: The layout of the space must be adapted to the scale of the event; The sound system must be high-quality and meet acoustic requirements; The lighting must transform a daytime space into a festive setting as soon as night falls, while creating a warm atmosphere. Every detail counts in providing guests with a memorable experience. With expertise spanning the entire technical process, from design to on-site installation, including logistics management and support throughout the event, our experience in festive events makes us a trusted partner for any project leader seeking to create a well-managed venue.

📍 Carrières des Lumières, Les Baux-de-Provence ▪️ iDzia Installation: the sound, the lighting, the video An outstanding evening at the Carrières des Lumières At the Carrières des Lumières, Doux Joaillier, a family-owned jewelry house, hosted a private Doux x Chanel dinner in a spectacular setting, surrounded by the art center’s limestone walls, with light displays, video mapping, and a custom musical ambiance. Doux Joaillier: Three Generations Dedicated to Watchmaking Expertise Founded in 1965 by Henri Doux, a watchmaker and gemologist, Doux Joaillier is a family-owned business that has been passed down through three generations. He began in Avignon by building a local clientele before collaborating with prestigious houses. His children, Richard and Diane, continued the business and are now passing their expertise on to the next generation, Arthur and Ethan Doux. Today, Doux Joaillier has established itself in the world of luxury watchmaking and jewelry. The Doux family operates nine boutiques across six locations (Avignon, Nîmes, Courchevel, Saint-Tropez, Deauville, and Megève) as well as an online store, offering products from leading international brands. Les Carrières des Lumières: A Unique Digital Art Venue For this private dinner, the venue chosen is the Carrières des Lumières, a digital art center offering immersive exhibitions, designated a “Classified Natural Site.” Located in Les Baux-de-Provence, in the Val d’Enfer, it occupies former white limestone quarries historically used for the construction of the castle and the Baux village. The Carrières des Lumières underwent its first transformation in 1977 with the creation of a cultural space dedicated to sound-and-light projections, inspired by the work of set designer Joseph Svoboda. In 2012, the site reopened under its current name, Carrières des Lumières, with the concept of digital art as it exists today. The main hall, which extends approximately 60 meters into the mountain, opens onto a vast space punctuated by imposing natural pillars left by the quarrymen, which also serve as projection screens. As a result, this natural setting offers an ideal venue for hosting prestigious private events. Sound, lighting, video mapping: iDzia’s expertise at the heart of the event iDzia drew on its full range of technical expertise to create a completely bespoke atmosphere. The venue’s sound system was designed to envelop guests in a musical ambiance consistent with the spirit of the event, taking into account the quarry’s unique acoustics. Likewise, the lighting was orchestrated to highlight the tables by playing on the contrasts between the darkness of the rock and the beams of light. Finally, a video mapping display was created, projecting the logos of both companies. The Carrières des Lumières are among iDzia’s regular partners, and this ongoing collaboration has allowed the teams to master the site’s technical specifics perfectly. This in-depth knowledge of the venue, combined with years of expertise in high-end event production, enables iDzia to transform every evening into a unique experience.

📍 La Chassagnette, Arles ▪️ iDzia Installation : the sound When Sound Fades into the Background In upscale establishments, sound should enhance the experience without disrupting the venue’s aesthetic. For the fine-dining restaurant La Chassagnette in Arles, a discreet sound system was installed to create an ambient soundscape that blends seamlessly with the overall atmosphere. La Chassagnette: An exceptional restaurant in the heart of the Camargue Located just a few kilometers from downtown Arles, La Chassagnette is a distinguished restaurant awarded one Michelin star run by chef Armand Arnal. He is a leading figure in southern French cuisine, crafting his menu in harmony with the seasons and local ingredients, thanks to a large organic garden on the premises. The restaurant’s atmosphere reflects this culinary world: minimalist, organic, and rooted in its natural surroundings. The refined interiors, natural light filtering through the spaces, and high-quality materials create a setting where nothing should disrupt the visual experience. It was in this context that iDzia was tasked with designing and deploying an integrated audio system capable of enveloping guests in a musical ambiance without ever drawing attention to itself. Discreet Sound Systems: The iDzia Signature for High-End Spaces For La Chassagnette, the goal of creating an imperceptible ambiance was achieved through white speakers embedded in the room’s shelves or positioned high up near the structural beams, providing uniform sound distribution without visually occupying any space and without compromising audio quality. The approach of invisibility guided every technical decision, and the result is a natural experience where the sound accompanies the meal without ever imposing itself. This integration demonstrates that iDzia supports its clients with a constant attention to detail and customization, wherever aesthetics are a non-negotiable component.

📍 Musée Départemental Arles Antique, Presqu'île du Cirque Romain, Arles ▪️ iDzia installation : the light, the video An Arlesian Night at the “Blue Museum” On the occasion of the 22nd European Night of Museums, an annual event organized by the French Ministry of Culture, the Musée Départemental Arles Antique opened its doors free of charge for an evening visit. The public was able to discover the exhibition Le Passage de Vénus (The Passage of Venus), attend a performance by the Arteteca vocal collective, and explore various installations, including playful installations, projections and other activities. The Night of Museums : a European cultural event The 2026 edition of the European Night of Museums took place on Saturday, May 23 in France and across Europe. Since 2005, this event has offered visitors the opportunity to discover museum collections from a different perspective. Furthermore, since 2013, the Ministry of Culture and the Ministry of National Education have implemented a program called La classe, l’œuvre!, which enables students to engage with shared heritage and, for one evening, become cultural mediators. This initiative helps make culture more accessible and renews ways of transmitting heritage. The Passage of Venus in the spotlight The Musée Départemental Arles Antique, also known as the “Blue Museum,” participated in this night by highlighting the exhibition The Passage of Venus. Open to the public from April 24 to October 31, 2026, it is co-produced with the Louvre Museum. The exhibition features the famous Venus of Arles, an ancient marble statue discovered in 1651 in Arles and later housed in the Paris museum, which has exceptionally returned to its city of origin. The exhibition, labeled “of national interest” traces the history of the goddess Aphrodite, from her mythical birth to contemporary debates on beauty and the condition of women. It brings together around thirty major ancient works, placed in dialogue with modern and contemporary creations. Thus, ancient Aphrodites, paintings by Gustave Moreau, photographs by Man Ray, and reinterpretations by Andy Warhol form a collection that explores the myth of Venus across time, its transformations, powers, and enduring presence. Light and projections implemented by iDzia Specializing in audiovisual management for museums, our company installed screens designed to broadcast content related to the European event. In addition, major works such as Vénus aux Chiffons, as well as installations linked to the event, particularly within the framework of La classe, l’œuvre!, were highlighted thanks to our equipment. Through this targeted illumination of exhibited works, enhancing their presentation in a nocturnal atmosphere, this intervention demonstrates our commitment to promoting heritage and enriching the visitor experience, in line with the spirit of the event and the institution’s objectives.

📍 LUMA Foundation, Arles ▪️ iDzia Installation: the light Photography Reinvented Through Painting On view at the LUMA Foundation, at the Galerie Principale, from May 2026 to January 2027, Gerhard Richter’s exhibition Overpainted Photographs brings together a selection of photographs covered in paint. Through a dialogue between the image and the act of painting, the exhibition deliberately blurs the line between the photographic document and the painterly intervention. Gerhard Richter: A Constantly Evolving Body of Work Born in Dresden in 1932, Gerhard Richter studied painting at the Academy of Fine Arts in his hometown. He then continued his training at the Düsseldorf Art Academy, where he became a professor of painting. He developed an approach based on photographic models before expanding his practice to encompass a wide variety of abstract styles. His work includes drawings, watercolors, and photographs covered with paint. Represented in the world’s leading museum collections, Gerhard Richter is today considered one of the most influential living artists. Images Created at the Intersection of Two Media Begun in the late 1980s, the Overpainted Photographs series involves applying oil paint, varnish, or lacquer to photographic prints, often drawn from his personal archives. The resulting hybrid work is neither quite a photograph nor quite a painting. As described by the contemporary art center, these works: “crystallize questions that run through Richter’s entire practice, concerning the instability of representation, the limits of perception, and the difficulty of separating the image from belief” (LUMA Arles, 2026). This installation thus offers visitors the opportunity to discover a unique body of work, shaped and enriched over the course of several decades.

📍 LUMA Foundation, Arles ▪️ iDzia Installation: the video, the audio Between Architectural Vision and Curatorial Dialogue Presented at the LUMA Foundation, the Galerie des Archives Vivantes, and the Galerie du Cerisier from May 2026 to March 2027, Archives Hans Ulrich Obrist / Chapter 6: Zaha Hadid “Je pense que l'expérimentation ne devrait pas avoir de fin” (I think experimentation should never end) is an exhibition dedicated to the Iraqi-British architect Zaha Hadid, tracing her artistic journey and her relationship with curator Hans Ulrich Obrist. Zaha Hadid: A Visionary Architect Born in Baghdad in 1950 and who passed away in 2016, Zaha Hadid studied mathematics at the American University of Beirut before enrolling at the Architectural Association in London. She founded her firm in 1979 and, in 1983, won the competition for The Peak Leisure Club in Hong Kong. As the architect behind several major global projects, such as the MAXXI Museum in Rome, the Heydar Aliyev Center in Baku, and the London Aquatics Center, she left her mark on contemporary architecture with her experimental approach. A professor at the Architectural Association as well as at Columbia, Harvard, and Yale, she became the first woman to win the Pritzker Prize in 2004, before receiving the RIBA Royal Gold Medal in 2015 and being appointed Dame Commander of the Order of the British Empire. Hans Ulrich Obrist Archives: Chapter 6, A Dialogue Spanning More Than Twenty Years Hans Ulrich Obrist Archives / Chapter 6: Zaha Hadid “I Think Experimentation Should Never End” is part of a series of exhibitions presented by LUMA Arles, through which German curator Hans Ulrich Obrist explores the personal archives of artists and designers with whom he has maintained a dialogue throughout his career. This sixth chapter brings together Zaha Hadid’s early calligraphic paintings as well as her research notebooks, accompanied by numerous hours of previously unseen video interviews conducted between 2001 and 2013. As the institution emphasizes, the exhibition reveals Hadid: “Not only as a builder of monuments, but also as a tireless philosopher of space.” (LUMA Arles, 2026). A tribute to a visionary architect who made abstract painting a tool for spatial exploration and invention.

📍 LUMA Foundation, Arles ▪️ iDzia Installation: the video and the audio The Rhône Delta on Screen Presented at the LUMA Foundation’s La Galerie Est from May 2026 to March 2027, Véréna Paravel’s work Delta immerses the audience in the ecosystem of the Rhône Delta. Through audio and visual recording techniques, the documentary film reveals the often-invisible lives of the species that inhabit the wetlands of the Camargue. Véréna Paravel, Filmmaker and Anthropologist of the Sensible Born in 1971 in Neuchâtel, Switzerland, Verena Paravel is an anthropologist and artist working in the fields of film, video, and photography. Her work is part of the permanent collection of the Museum of Modern Art in New York and has been exhibited at the Tate, the Whitney Biennial, and documenta 14. In collaboration with anthropologist Lucien Castaing-Taylor, she co-directed Leviathan (2012), which won the FIPRESCI Prize at Cannes. Véréna Paravel was in residence at LUMA Arles from October to December 2025, where she collaborated closely with the Tour du Valat, a Camargue-based wetland research institute. Listening to the Camargue Delta is a commissioned film developed as part of the Cosmofonia research project led by Paravel. Using scientific and military recording equipment, the film makes frequencies inaudible to the human ear audible, such as the infrasonic vibrations of reeds, signals exchanged between species, and the seismic resonances of the mudflats. As the institution describes the work: “It conceives of film as a medium of contact: a way to approach other ways of life without reducing them to human categories.” (LUMA Arles - 2026) In short, the work Delta offers a sensory experience that renews our perception of living things.
