Lazaret Cave is one of the oldest prehistoric sites in Europe, inhabited some 400,000 years ago. Tucked into the Cap de Nice, its limestone walls bear the silent traces of the earliest humans to walk this Mediterranean shore. It is into this ancient darkness that the OVNi Biennial 2026 chooses to place its most radical artistic gesture.

Rock becomes screen. The cave wall receives high-resolution projections in which light, movement and raw mineral matter enter into dialogue. Animated figures emerge from the void, carrying an archaic vital energy. Spatial sound wraps around the visitor, drawing them into a sensory and introspective experience where geological time and the digital image meet face to face.
