an enigmatic nebula transforming the landscape like a mirage

Transparent and airy, the Floating Lenses cloud by Vincent Leroy (see more here) seems almost immaterial above Canada’s Lake Louise. Like an optical mirage, the enigmatic nebula transforms the landscape on which it overlays. Its magnifiers seem to capture fragments of the scenery and repeat them endlessly in the light of dawn. In a world where motion is often synonymous with speed and performance, the work calls on the contrary to take the time for contemplation, the artist argues. Ultimately, and playing with their environment, these installations transform reality and shift the viewer ‘into another temporality, another dimension, that of dreams and illusion,’ Leroy concludes.
