Information
La Chaux-de-Fonds (Switzerland)
Echoing the storm that tore through La Chaux-de-Fonds on 24 July 2023, this installation invites us to remember in order to better look to the future. Get comfortable on a bench beneath the station’s canopy roof, look up and watch the movement. Here, the wind is no longer a destructive force, but rather a creative breath. Free and invigorating, it sweeps through a forest of weather vanes, offering a colourful and light-hearted vision of everyday life. A changing landscape, sensitive to the elements, one which, through gentle sounds and optical illusions, celebrates rebirth and inspires wonder.
