CLINAMEN by Céleste Boursier-Mougenot

This immersive project transforms the Rotunda into reverie space in which a basin 18 metres in diametre filled with water reflects the sky seen through the museum’s dome. White ceramic bowls float across this blue surface, generating melodious, enchanting sounds as a light current pushes them along. These acoustic vibrations, free of any intervention by a performer, constitute the very heart of the piece, a veritable symphony of the moment that evolves with a flow of invisible waves.

The artist confronts the visitor with the immensity of a single moment in which time feels suspended. His work explores the boundary between art and the everyday. His repurposed objects, such as these bowls, are transformed into sophisticated instruments able to produce sounds without any human intervention..

We invite you to join us to draw this installation. Please bring your own art materials & sketchbooks. Foldable stools are available on site.
