«Me and the Universe»
Expo.02   September 29, 2003
 
 
The «Cloud»
The «Cloud»
Each of the four arteplages represents a new challenge for the architects and engineers, and the one at the southern end of Lake Neuchâtel is no exception. It takes the form of an artificial cloud in the middle of the lake, and the landmark of the Yverdon-les-Bains arteplage is reached at the end of a tour of the senses.
 
 
 
It all begins with the fundamental questions: who am I? Where is my place in the universe? The Yverdon arteplage answers these questions with a fantastic festival of the senses: first of all, we discover a landscape of hills and valleys. We breathe in fragrances, decode (video) pictures, watch the play of light, experience strange sounds montages, and rediscover ourselves in unusual situations.
On the shores of the lake, a huge timber construction with a colourful, parchment-like roof shelters the exhibitions. We reach the "cloud", which looks like a mysteriously mist-swathed island, by means of a footbridge. We arrive at the island, we see it, feel it, enter it, and linger there...
