" Ondes Visibles II "
Designed to enlighten a whole business district set around former docks in Canary Wharf, London, this urban installation aims at revealing the invisible and hiding the visible by cleaning up the lines and erasing the asperities using mirrored surfaces. Creating a “flow of life & flow of light” using colourful hallos over the surface of the water and the tracks of the DLR trains. Integrating vertically the surrounding buildings by creating a spectacular moment : a Clock of Light that would become a new landmark for Canary Wharf.
« The majority of the site is built on stilts, but one never notices it.
Canary Wharf mirrors itself into the water but one never sees it.
The site is shaped with lines and structures that have no correspondence, nor coherence.
I therefore turned the invisible into a tangible installation.
I created a new space where one could dream eyes wide open, live new emotions, feel the calmness of the water and experience the peacefulness of the sky.
As Light shapes up Canary Wharf, a new rhythm awakes : tidal waves and coloured mists flirt with the water, talk with the sky and sooth the atmosphere to slow down our daily pace.
The invisible made visible.
