La théorie des nœuds
The artwork was produced as part of a commission from Greater Lyon for the Rives de Saône project.
● Artistic and technical direction: ARTER and Jérôme Sans
● Realization: Art Project with the LAVELLE Foundry
● In collaboration with the landscape agency Anne-Laure Giroud and Tim Boursier-Mougenot
The work is part of a series of 5 creations for the municipalities of Fontaines-sur-Saône (Souvenir du monde inverted, La Sucrerie, La Théorie des nodes, and Les Cercles Logiques) and Rochetaillée-sur-Saône (Le Génialithe).
Under each node a cartel reveals the symbols associated with it and which diverge or overlap depending on the times, cultures, corporations that have adopted them. Attached to mooring rings, they also evoke the memory of hauling boats.
