PLANÈTES Par Pitaya
Planètes is an immersive installation that transports visitors into a poetic and mysterious universe.
The installation consists of 14 luminous spheres suspended at various heights along Rue de la Coupe. Each planet is handcrafted and carefully sculpted to reflect moving light, creating the illusion of three-dimensionality through the interplay of shadows and light on their surfaces. The spheres vary in size, with diameters ranging from 0.75 meters to 1.2 meters and weights from 3.5 kg to 6 kg. These variations enhance the immersive effect, allowing visitors to experience a unique perspective by observing the planets from different vantage points.
This installation invites visitors to rediscover the street from a fresh angle, playing with perspectives and dimensions. The variations in light and shadow on the planets, visible from both near and far, create an effect of luminous painting in perpetual motion, transforming the urban environment into a surreal cosmos. The subtle interplay between dynamic light and the abstract shapes of the planets evokes a visual journey through a mysterious and captivating universe.
Beyond its artistic dimension, “Planètes” was designed with environmental sustainability in mind. Lightweight and recyclable materials like aluminum were used, and energy consumption is kept low through the use of LED technology. The installation embodies a fusion of art, technology, and sustainability, inviting spectators to look up and explore a world where every luminous detail tells a story.
