Description

This is the project of a universal experience, made possible by the artistic encounter with engineering innovation.

About

PYRAMIDION TWIN is the continuity of the monumental sculpture PHARES, imagined by the artist-engineer Milène Guermont. This pyramid of 30 m in height is born on Place de la Concorde in 2015 (movie: https://tinyurl.com/zryjtkr) and dialogues with the Obelisk of Luxor and with the Eiffel Tower (movie: https://tinyurl.com/hyafnha).

PYRAMIDION TWIN is an interactive sculpture of golden metal & light measuring 4 m in height, born in June 2018 in front of Trinity House. As the Obelisks are designed in pairs, a twin work, PYRAMIDION, is born in Paris in February (movie of its installation at UNESCO: https://bit.ly/2IsCpHm)

Each evening of this summer, PYRAMIDION TWIN lights up automatically except on June 29: you can illuminate this luminous pyramid to your own heartbeat by putting your finger into its connected cardiac sensor. At a distance you can also see its light pulsate at your own heart rhythm through www.youlightme.com, personalize the short video that comes with it and share it by email or social networks.

After London, this mini-pyramid will travel. To welcome it to your country, contact us.

YOU ARE PHARES!
