lens cloud

On the courtyard of the Louvre, an enigmatic cloud floats in the air. Made of optical lenses similar to those used in projectors and electronic devices, the mobiles forms a transparent and moving constellation which undulates and deforms in a slow and spectacular way. Light & aerial, the magnifying glasses cross each other, overlap and multiply themselves to infinity, blurring the limits of the installation.  

This new artwork by the French artist Vincent Leroy, entitled  Lens Cloud, plays with our perception and dialogues with its surroundings In the continuity of his previous projects  Lenscape  &  Slow Lens  projects. From certain angles, the installation almost blends into the environment : the mobiles mingles with the building glass and stones that surround them and the transparent discs reflect natural light and evolve according to the hues of the magnificent parisian winter sky. Under other points of view, the constellation of magnifying glasses transforms the architecture and diffracts it into a kaleidoscopic and poetic vision.
