Emilien Guesnard is fascinated by our hearts: the most vital organ of all which is also the seat of the full gamut of our emotions. Around forty lasers installed below street level project their beams onto the façade of the hospital complex, mirroring our circulatory system and reminding us that the heart sustains life - both physically and emotionally.  The installation also pays tribute to this building with its evocative glass façade which is in the heart of the city and in the hearts of its citizens. Pulse beats slowly when all is calm then speeds up in a frenzy as soon as night falls, in resonance with the emotions that are our lifeblood.
