QUARTZ Original

QUARTZ is a monumental rock made from a set of light sources. The exceptional size renders this enigmatic object visible from a great distance and invites closer inspection. Standing at the foot of the rock, the mineral becomes mystical as visitors are dwarfed by its scale. The meditative feeling is enhanced by a cosmic soundscape that accompanies the installation. Symbolic and essential, QUARTZ integrates subtly into its landscape and enters into an easy dialogue with the surrounding architecture. The verticality of the installation and its wireframe geometry generate an overall feeling of lightness, ampli ed by the soft character of the object. _Light + Sound _Artist: Nicolas PAOLOZZI _Sound design: Baptiste MARTINEAU _Production: MODULE _Photo: Alban GUERRY-SUIRE _2018 Exhibitions: 2019 - Lausanne Light Festival (CH) 2018 - Constellations de Metz (FR)
