Art installation at Place Ste-Catherine
The installation by the Fribourg artist Camille von Deschwanden is a dialogue between art, light, and science, to be discovered at Place Ste-Catherine from 3 December 2026 to 3 January 2027.
In the Bourg district, the installation by the Fribourg artist Camille von Deschwanden invites the public to experience a sensitive and universal journey around the organ of the heart, a symbol of life, resilience, and regeneration. Through projections derived from real cardiac interventions, light structures inspired by medical technologies, and an original sound creation, VITA transforms cutting-edge scientific research into a shared emotion.
Through a collaboration between artists, scientists, and cultural stakeholders, VITA illustrates the potential of dialogue between disciplines and helps to strengthen the links between culture, innovation, and society. The video is created by Chantal Romani, the composition is by Wataru Miyakawa, and Sébastien Gerelli is a cardiac surgeon.
