On the occasion of the opening of the new group show: Dream Tour in Wonderland in Shanghai, Vincent Leroy presents a new out door version of its optical installation Slow Lens. This new version of its optical installation Slow Lens immerses visitors in an other dimension, in a poetic dreamlike directly in a Shanghai street. This new mobile plays with our perception and dialogues with its surroundings. Made of optical lenses similar to those used in projectors and electronic devices, the mobiles forms a transparent and moving constellation which undulates and deforms in a slow and spectacular way. Composed of about sixty magnifying glasses, a levitating giant mobile spins slowly. The moving surface overlaps the reality and transforms it in a kaleidoscopic, abstract and changing composition. Ths installation produice an amazing view of the sky and building of Shanghai, especially with sun light. Settled in a circular space with a natural backlighting, its multiples facets react to light and are reflected by mirror surfaces for a multiplier effect. Playing both with its surroundings & our perception, the optical installation offers visitors a poetic and hypnotic vision. :Projet Woo Art Service Co.,Ltd
