Céleste Boursier-Mougenot's multisensorial installation clinamen will take over the Rotunda of the Bourse de Commerce – Pinault Collection, which presents the work at an unprecedented scale in resonance with the architecture of this site.
This immersive project transforms the Rotunda into reverie space in which a basin 59 feet in diameter 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.
