In a nutshell

Accroche
The sun rises and sets on the Temple du Change in the heart of Lyon’s old town: a peaceful and poetic interlude dreamed up by Danish artist Jakob Kvist.

This light installation consisting of 75 coloured LED tubes on the façade of the Temple du Change is a subtle tribute to this historic building in Lyon’s Old Town, a UNESCO world heritage site. You need to be attentive to tune into the dialogue between the architecture and the coloured light display. The colours appear then fade out again slowly reminding us of the centuries of history witnessed by this building, and the residents of the old town. Neither hyperactive nor disruptive, this straightforward installation gently draws us into the atmosphere of the building. The audience can use the coloured windows as a backdrop for their own values, fantasies and perceptions.

Inside / Out depicts the sky at sunrise and sundown. It is an interpretation of natural light metamorphosed into an artificial representation of nature. The light shines from “inside out” on the Place du Change.
