Fête des Lumières - Lyon december 2007
Efflorescences
A luminous creation which evolves over the four evenings
of the Fête des Lumières. On the central lawn of the Place
Antonin Poncet, flowers of light swing in the wind. In this garden, mysterious
characters, all dressed in white, move slowly around. These are planters,
lightmakers, who arrange 500 flowers each night. By the end of the fourth
evening, 4’000 flowers illuminate the Place. They are then handed
out to the public.
Each flower contains a rechargeable battery which provides the lamp with
an autonomy of about 5 days. However, a slight difference of intensity
will appear between the first flowers, planted on the Thursday evening,
and those arranged over the following days.
Just as in nature: plants flower, bloom, and eventually fade away.
4’000 luminous flowers, a lawn of 1000m2, 6 planters.
