The main concept was to transform the black ceilings to enhance the spatial volume and improve the perception of the environment. By turning them into reflective surfaces, their role as secondary reflectors was optimized, creating more favorable conditions for contemporary art exhibitions.

A metal structure supporting the electrified tracks also houses the indirect lighting directed toward the ceiling. This resource can also be used as a general diffuse light for exhibitions.

The artworks are illuminated with projectors installed on the tracks, featuring adjustable photometry (elliptical zoom, spot/flood, spot, and narrow spot), CRI 92, 3000K color temperature, and built-in dimmer. The indirect and ambient lighting fixtures are 3000K and controlled via a DALI system.
