Pavilion Nocturne
Sept 2017 - Apr 2018
Le Moulin Jaune, Crécy-la-Chapelle
from the breeze
sweeping through the woods
reaching him in disguise
to hide among the green
to stand out in the dark
Pavilion NOCTURNE is designed as a living organism inside the paradise of Moulin Jaune, the private property of the distinguished performer Slava Polunin, which stretches along a river bank.
It responds to the characters in the landscape with the notes rebounding inside the bamboo stems and the light shedding on the plastic tubes. You walk in, as if slightly being engulfed by a living instrument, solely embraced by the unique notes from Moulin.
In the night, it sheds off its disguise, with its façade lit up by every ray of light that passes by. It sublty keeps the song playing in the dark.
You look back at the Moulin with a special fragment of musical memory that connect you to the this piece of wonderland.
