Limbo is a light installation in Montpellier, presented on the Mur des écoles at Hôtel d'Aurès, 14 rue Eugène-Lisbonne. Created by École Ynov, the work runs from 12 to 14 November 2026, and it is shown as part of the city's Cœur de Ville en Lumières programme.
What the installation explores
Limbo takes as its theme the brief, fragile moment when day gives way to night. In that in-between time, reality seems to waver and the dream has not yet begun. The installation aims to evoke that threshold through light, so a visitor's walk after dusk becomes part of the experience.
Why visit
- It is an outdoor, evening event, suited to a stroll through the historic centre.
- The work sits on a wall of the Mur des écoles, so you see it in the setting of the city rather than in a gallery.
- It is a short run, over three days, so the dates matter if you want to plan around it.
The area around it
Hôtel d'Aurès is in the centre of Montpellier, a city of old streets and squares that are easy to explore on foot. Pairing a visit to Limbo with an evening walk through the surrounding streets makes a natural way to spend the night.
