Experimenta
The Dream Machine presented in Experimenta lounge invites us to reach a state of consciousness that opens into lucid dreams, where the dreamer is the explorer of their unconscious. Turning on itself, this installation gives the feeling of floating in space as a weightless astronaut weightless in the gap between equilibrium and controlled vertigo. In the manner of an architect, Lionel plays with the cantilevered door and generates all kinds of sensations… Read More

Influence of gravity
This installation, evocative of the solar system, showcases spheres flying through a celestial mechanism. Hypnotic, the composition of the hovering spheres projects us into space and invites us to board a waking dream. We lose track of our bodies and gravity and float weightlessly in the void. Thus begins a lunar trip where we can experience a different relationship to time and space. This installation ignites fascination of celestial objects that are… Read More

Suspended Time
Man has always been concerned with the measurement of time which rules his life. Man has translated the elusive with paradoxically heavy and massive mechanisms.

It renders time intangible, reveals its’ infinite size, and restores its’ unreal power. The viewer experiences the dualities that bring them back to time: mechanical… Read More

This is a golden railroad to Heavenly Machinery. The train is suspended at a height of… Read More
