Presented in room n\u00b02 of the Vasarely Foundation, KYIL KHOR<\/em>‘s water mirror and its kinetic ripples reflect Victor Vasarely’s vertical compositions.<\/strong><\/strong><\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

This new project by F\u00e9licie d’Estienne d\u00b4Orves, winner of the Vasarely Foundation International Prize for Digital Arts in 2018, is the result of a collaboration with GANIL (National Grand Accelerator of Heavy Ions) in Caen. The work pays tribute to Victor Vasarely’s \u201cOndulatoires\u201d series, produced in the 1950s, and to the artist\u2019s research on the wave-particle duality of matter.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The artist explores the boundary between contemporary atomic physics and the ancient philosophy of Tibetan Buddhism. The work KYIL KHOR<\/em>, literally meaning center<\/em> or circle<\/em> in Tibetan, is inspired by the pattern of the mandala. Traditionally made by Buddhist monks using colored sand, this cosmic diagram expresses the idea of \u200b\u200bthe impermanence of reality and symbolizes a concentric structure of the universe.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The musical piece which accompanies the sculpture, Kailasha1<\/sup><\/em>, by experimental music pioneer \u00c9liane Radigue, draws on the composer’s mental pilgrimage around Mount Kailash, a sacred Tibetan mountain.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

KYIL KHOR<\/em>‘s water mirror distorts and renews our vision of the surrounding environment. On the quantum scale, a particle doesn’t have a defined position and is characterized by a set of probabilities or wave functions. In the same way as atoms change shape at different energy levels, the matter of the water mirror rolls out the potential of its undulatory interferences in orderly chaos<\/em>2<\/sup>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
