The spirit of the city does not reside in its functionality and technical aspects. It is defined by its history, its secrets, its territory, its geography.
The spirit of Lyon ferments below ground, in the city’s web of galleries and stepped passages. It has matured over centuries, creating a concentrated energy, which occasionally surfaces, producing remarkable individuals and works of art.
The ground in Lyon is not a surface as such, but a fragile boundary between a subterranean and aerial world, between a sacred and profane environment. Each entity, each person in Lyon takes root in the depths of the city’s history. Nothing is superficial, everything is anchored in the spirit of the location.
These objects punctually emerge from the ground, as a testimony to these subterranean mutations, expressions of buried dreams. Mysterious entities, both organic and mineral, they sprout from the ground, as astounding materialisations of a powerful natural site, covered overtime by Man, but not entirely dominated.
