Ephemeral Installation: Onde Sensuelle (Sensual Wave) for the Festival of Lively Architecture, (FAV) at La Grande Motte France, June 21 - 29, 2014, by architects Marion Moustey and Alexandre Arcens.
"It is not the right angle that attracts me, nor the straight line, hard and inflexible, created by man. What attracts me is the free and sensual curve that I find in the body of the beloved woman." - Oscar Niemeyer
Set on the harbor of La Grande Motte, the installation faces the sea. It guides the look towards the horizon while reminding the curves of the female body. Which material to choose if not the lace, voluptuous and evocative of the senses?
The spheres, dressed in embroidery, open a dialogue between full and void. Indeed, the texture of the lace creates a game of shadow and light. Applied on floating spheres, it offers roundness reflexions on the water.
The Sensual Wave plays with water, without ever touching it, brushes it, goes away from it. As a magical moment, the ephemeral character of the installation evokes a waves that we can't hold back.
