Water cascades from Niki de Saint-Phalle’s monumental Nana de Star Fountain and trickles from Ilana Isehayek’s Toupies d’eau. Sylvie de Meurville’s installation hugs the ridges of the Vosges and Pol Bury’s steel spheres sparkle. Clément Borderie’s pirate ring freezes or thaws with the seasons and is grafted onto the building. Lorella Abenavolli presents a minimalist cube where water flows in a perfect flat surface.
Renaud Auguste-Dormeuil and Rachael Louise Bailey, both winners of Talents Contemporains (4th and 8th editions), have also installed their works here.
In Renaud Auguste-Dormeuil’s From Here to There, water reflects the movement of clouds before being sent across the Pacific through an imaginary tunnel. Concerned about environmental issues, Rachael Louise Bailey has designed a large sphere of inner tubes, which visually responds to the vortex in Renaud Auguste-Dormeuil’s neighboring basin.
