Le Point (Timothée Mion, Fabien Roy, Leonardo Vianello): Perched atop the roof of a car park above the level of the street, The
Bellefontaine terrace is inconspicuous and little-used. To attract the
attention and incite passers-by to discover this hidden garden, a sail
unfolds every time the car park’s air vent is activated, like a landmark
up in the sky. The blast that comes from the bowels of the earth
propels the piece of fabric that twirls around in the wind. Air is the
invisible link between all the layers of this place and Le Point makes it visible.
The Nocturnal Garden (Jeffery Lambert, Lorenz Noelle, Mathilde Lafaille): Sculptures during the day, stage directors at night: a series of
lampshades bring the Bellefontaine terrace to life as night falls. They
transform the park, diverting the rays of existing lights onto natural
elements for a new experience of the garden. Each reflector creates
little scenes with a dramatic interplay between light and nature that
varies according to the wind and the rain.
Entrance (Samuel Lodetti, Benjamin Bichsel, Jingxiang Zhang): There is something fascinating about gazing into water. Through the
transparency of this element, hidden worlds appear and one can get lost
in their infinity. Entrance plays on this fascination. Thanks
to an optical effect, the park is connected to the various levels of the
car park. The small fountain transforms into a bottomless abyss of
stratified storeys, and visitors are invited to dive into this endless
world.
