Détail de MUR NUEES

At first sight, the place is empty.

But, by advancing, a singular wall appears.

 

This wall is neither a barrier nor a border, but an invitation to travel.

This intimate journey paradoxically takes the visitor to a very distant universe:
the world of clouds.

 

Its harshness of surface catches the eye. It is irregular, plural, intriguing.
The visitor still approaches and the desire increases …
An irresistible desire to touch, to feel, to find! So, he brushes it.
And the wall reacts. It expresses itself: thanks to the sonic and bright effects of its integrated electronic devices, the visitor hears the sound of clouds (that the concrete has recorded previously) and sees blurs of light through the concrete.

He will go through an unexpected visual landscape consisting of breaths of air,

rustles of clouds, whirlwinds of water, crackles of ice

or seismic vibrations translated into soft lights or brilliant flashes.

 

The climatic landscape created by the visitor, according to his magnetic field, becomes chaos or harmony.
