DIEPPE INTERNATIONAL KITE FESTIVAL

Aerophotography Pavilion

The sky as you've never seen it before: from a kite
A view suspended between heaven and earth

Enter a space apart, where the wind becomes the cameraman and the kite its mount. The Pavillon Aérophotographie invites you to explore the world from above, through a practice as spectacular as it is poetic: aerial kite photography.

🌬️ What you will discover in this pavilion :

🎞️ The “Eyes of the Wind” exhibition.

Around forty images captured by kites around the world, printed in large format, invite you to see things from above: children’s roundels, beaches, monuments, landscapes.. . A sensitive immersion in an aerial, graphic and sometimes unexpected view. These photos have been taken by the best kapists (practitioners of Kite Aerial Photography), in keeping with a tradition that began in France in 1888.
A QR code will also enable you to explore the exhibition digitally.

🪁 Participatory demonstrations & workshops

Discover the secrets of aerial photography by taking part in demonstrations in small groups. Supervised by enthusiasts, you’ll be able to take your own aerial shots with your smartphone, suspended from a kite.

Weather permitting, take part in the creation of giant human frescoes seen from the sky, or theflight of kites in Nescafé® colours, and leave with your own souvenir photo!
