A majestic phoenix, the incarnation of the mythical animal symbolising hope and rebirth, has landed in Lyon. Neon lights vibrate with a multitude of bright and changing colours, evoking the beautiful plumage of tropical birds such as the blue-throated macaw or the yellow-fronted parrot.
The Phoenix is reborn from the ashes as a flock of birds in the heart of the city. The birdsong, recorded in French Guiana, adds to your impression of being in the midst of a tropical forest.
________
Artistic intent
The changing colours of the Phénix are inspired by the plumage of different birds threatened by extinction, thereby encouraging the public to think about conservation of the species.
