A Circular Journey with Subtitles 2018 - Atomium

Описание: 21.09.2018 - 31.08.19

Since antiquity, men have raised their heads to the immensity of the stars, to try to understand what she said about the world. At the turn of the 20th century, it was the infinitely small who gradually revealed the mysteries and secrets of the atom. At the dawn of the third millennium, humanity discovers that everything, absolutely everything that constitutes the universe as we know it, comes from the burning heart of the stars; that we are, in the first place, their children, in the long time of the galaxies and the wheels that animate us.
While wandering through "A Circular Journey", the visitor explores an Atomium enhanced with lights and sounds from Visual System, according to a journey linking the infinite, big and small. It is a great cycle without beginning or end, except in the improved understanding of what constitutes us.

Original music by Thomas Vaquié
Narration by Stéphane Beauverger

A dot is all
It is us
Both in the past and in the future
A dot is nothing
It is you
unseizable
A mere step
Bodies and electrons racing
A dot is a mere moment
A crossroads
Hypothetical journeys
The beginning or the end
The trace and the outline
to come or forgone
Of previous furrows
Of outlived cycles
Orbital dusts
unthought perigees
A comet progression
A circular journey
To lose oneself within
Do not stop
Astounding mantra
Astral rosary
Organized atoms
astral collisions
Strings of planets
To return
To hope and to rise
To start over
So soon
To doubt, however
The completed journey
It is you
It is us
Engraved in light
The light of knowledge
Of mysteries
Of cycles and orbs
Invisible or immense
Which however move
The clock of our thoughts
