Tour Solaire, 2007 (detail)
Circle projection, video, sound
Duration approx. 10 min
The video starts with a slow zoom-out that moves from the city of Paris over the site of the Tour Solaire observatory of Meudon. Built in the 1960s to observe the sun, the observatory is today no longer in use. The video investigates the observatory as a cultural monument, which appears to be already part of the past.
