A mythical work, the Dream House is a sound and light installation created by La Monte Young, inventor of the concept of eternal music. The music moves the hanging mobiles, created by Marian Zazeela, in a barely perceptible way. For the listener, the experience is literally about immerging oneself in sound, observing its nuances. This is an experience conducive to reflection, whereupon the listener is as attentive to his/her inner being as he/she is to the music. Within this 500 m2 space, bathed in light and music, the visitor can enjoy unique sensations and an unusual experience of duration: everyone is invited to find their place in the work by sitting, or strolling at their own pace, appreciating the sound variations provoked by their own movements, however minimal these may be.
Giuseppe Penone
Dans Respirare l’ombra, une pièce environnementale, il s’agit de solliciter l’œil et l’odorat. Tapissée d’une myriade de feuilles de laurier enserrées sous des panneaux de grillage métallique, la salle s’imprègne de leur odeur tenace et se teinte de leur vert qui s’affadit avec le temps. Au centre, deux sculptures en bronze dressent leurs silhouettes.
