A REVELATION OF THE GALERIES LAFAYETTE’S ARCHITECTURE THROUGH LIGHT
By covering the dome of the historic dome with a film that diffracts the sun’s rays into an infinite number of colours, Kimsooja creates new and ephemeral luminous landscapes on the exterior surfaces and in the interior spaces of the dome, as the day progresses and the weather conditions change. The artist explores the sensory and meditative qualities of the department stores’, inviting spectators to look at these luminous environments, conducive to contemplation.
A singular and confidential experience of To Breathe is offered to visitors in the space between the two domes, usually closed to the public, through the diffusion of the sound work The Weaving Factory (2004/2013) throughout the space.
A unique and confidential experience of To Breathe will be offered to visitors
To Breathe can be seen on sunny days throughout the department stores’ during Galeries Lafayette Paris Haussmann opening hours. It offers privileged views of the terrace (8th floor)
