Unlock The Magic Of Numbers In This Captivating Installation<\/h1>\n\n\n

Emmanuelle Moureaux is obsessed with numbers. And colors. And using both to \u201cexpress time, experiences, and emotions,\u201d the architect-artist says. Timeline, <\/em>her recent installation, and her first permanent one in Paris, goes further to \u201csymbolize the diversity of people and moments of life.\u201d Fittingly, Timeline <\/em>occupies the eight-story atrium of Le Lumi\u00e8re, the city\u2019s largest private office building that\u2019s also home to restaurants, shops, Kedge business school, and parking facilities, averaging thousands of visitors a month.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

To produce the commission curated by By Art, Moureaux<\/a> engineered a custom frame, attached to the atrium\u2019s truss beams, from which 3,200 steel numbers are suspended in tidy rows. The bottom-most numerals are the years 2023 and 2024, increasing to beyond 2100 as the rows rise 60 feet, and shift in color from reds to yellows to blues, evoking the passage of time. \u201cThe building\u2019s glass roof is an integral part of the artwork, which is an abstract visualization of a ray of sunlight penetrating through,\u201d Moureaux explains.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Timeline <\/em>is the 47th iteration in Moureaux\u2019s 100 Colors series, the first of which appeared in Tokyo more than a decade ago. (No. 48, composed of thousands of paper butterflies in 100 different shades for a Lanc\u00f4me exhibition in Shanghai<\/a>, featured in our pages last March.) \u201cI will continue to exhibit 100 Colors all around the world,\u201d Moureaux says. She\u2019s currently planning no. 53 to appear this spring, back where it all began, in Tokyo.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
