The colors of The Observatory of Light, name of the installation, change depending on the position of the sun and transforming the the museum into a giant-sized kaleidoscope, making each moment a unique experience.
According to Bernard Arnault, president of the Fondation Louis Vuitton,
“Daniel Buren has designed a grandiose project, pertinent and
enchanting, the result of real dialogue with Frank Gehry and his
building. His work responds magnificently to the architecture, in line
with his approach, going back to the 1970s, that sees a coming together
of colors, transparency and light.”
