Soleils, soleils. Jacques Perconte, Abbaye de Noirlac

07/27/2024

At dusk, Jacques Perconte's luminous and sound installations invite us to receive the light of the sun, the moon, and the stars, making the ancient stones of the abbey vibrate with a new clarity. Using the reality of our environment as a motif, from its majestic nature to its scarred landscapes, the artist reveals the immense beauty of our heritage through moving tableaux. Mountains, forests, cities, rivers, lakes, seas, and oceans unite in a great flow, evoking what Romain Rolland calls the "oceanic feeling," that emotion which annihilates temporality and space, immersing us in a great whole.
