LES COLOMBES
From Mount Zion in Jerusalem to the Salisbury Cathedral. From New York to San Francisco, from Mumbai to Hawaii – this multi-media installation has travelled the world. It has been a journey of interconnections and interrelations, of floating freedom and collective rooting.
Les Colombes spread their wings in a church in the heart of Munich and have since touched visitors from all backgrounds around the globe. It captures with all senses. Not loud, not pushy, not intrusive. But gentle, absorbing, alluring.
The 3 components of the installation:
THE SCULPTURE A floating flock of more than 2.000 origami paper doves folded by hundreds of people.
THE LIGHT Designed specifically for Les Colombes, it makes the doves come alive
THE MUSIC A sound cloud composed for the installation – spherical, cooing, a slight fluttering
The message of this art-for-peace project is clear, yet raises deep individual emotions and multi-faceted questions. About freedom and redemption. About this archetypal symbol of innocence and the idea of the Holy Spirit – and its role in a world of major disruptions and rapid high-tech transformation.
The depth of this motif is reflected in the three-dimensional, layered experience – physical, sensual, emotional – in truly unique spaces.
