Writing pathways
Books open up for us heavenly worlds with their stories. This installation takes the viewer into a story whose central character is a child’s toy train. This poetic train travels through a city of books some with mirrored facades and captures the poems that appear on the pages of this city transforming them into sounds. Viewers find themselves transported back to childhood to that state of wonder and those first strong emotions… Read More
Dream machine
The dream machine invites us to access the state of consciousness that opens into lucid dreams, in which the dreamer is an explorer of their unconscious. Turning on itself, it gives the sensation of floating weightless in space, as an astronaut, suspended in the gap between balance and controlled vertigo. In the manner of an architect, Lionel plays with cantilever and generates all kinds of sensations through this swinging game. Lionel also… 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

Glass Pathway
Sound installation for the Biennial of Contemporary Art “Glass Pathway” is a sound installation in collaboration with Denys Vinzant. Lionel Stocard’s golden trian cars emerge as in a dream, piercing space, in suspension, joining the universe of works by Denys Vinzant which extend through audio and visual flickers of his glass scores written in golden ink. This is a golden railroad to Heavenly Machinery. The train is suspended at a height of… Read More
Cold Room
This installation invites viewers to snorkel in cold water and architecture. Visitors are lulled by the sound world while lying in a blue aquatic environment. Sounds of the forest, birds and water first stationary and then moving take the viewer on a rustic ride. Along the promenade, the trickle of water becomes a waterfall and then a swirl of water and ends in a large room with a very minimalist dripping sound…. Read More
Accoustic Attic
True transgenerational memory, a powerful symbol of the attic room in the house. This work refers to the time and past families who have filed their fragments of memory in the attic. Lionel’s accoustic attic consists of a wooden machinery that echoes the frame of an attic. Through rhythmic movements that reflect a sequence of events and lives, Lionel breathes the sounds of passing time. The backbone of families, this installation embodies… Read More
