Churchill Square and City Hall Plaza welcome Lucion Spheres – moonGARDEN display!
Since its inauguration at the 2012 “Luminotherapy” event in Montreal, moonGARDEN has travelled the world.
The ambiance for the show was inspired by the theory of sets, a branch of mathematics that illustrates notions of sets and belonging. For us, moonGARDEN is the perfect metaphor for a more inclusive world.
The installation consists in 6 to 25 self-inflating spheres from 6 to 30 feet in diameter. The cut-outs are made by laser in keeping with a predefined storyline and then assembled on rotating platforms.
The sequence based on a single stream of light produces an enchanting animation reminiscent of the lamps that made shadows dance on the walls when we were kids.
