Text description provided by the architects
Perched on the heights of a Sicilianrooftop, an enigmatic cloud floats in the air. Made of optical lenses similar to thoseused in projectors and electronic devices, the mobiles forms a transparent andmoving constellation which undulates and deforms in a slow andspectacularway. Light & aerial, the magnifying glasses cross each other, overlap andmultiply themselves to infinity, blurring the limits of the installation. This new artwork by the French artistVincent Leroy, entitledLens Cloud, plays with our perception anddialogues with its surroundings In the continuity of his previousprojectsLenscape & SlowLens projects. From certain angles, the installation almost blends intonature: the mobiles mingles with the vegetation and cactus that surround themand the transparent discs reflect natural light and evolve according to thehues of the Sicilian sky. Under other points of view, the constellation ofmagnifying glasses transforms the landscape and diffracts it into akaleidoscopic and poetic vision.
