TOUS LES SOLEILS, CLAUDE LÉVÊQUE – HAUT-FOURNEAU (U4)

 

2008

ARTER produced the work Tous les Soleils by Claude Lévêque for the site of the U4 Blast Furnaces in Uckange.

The artist Claude Lévêque chose to fill this major industrial heritage site of steel and iron works in Moselle with a spectacular, luminous work. Powerful glowing lamps were placed inside and outside the structure, creating the optical illusion of a blaze. Standing out amongst this glowing red, elevated walkways are lit in gold. A path laid out on the ground, as well as two observation posts, allow the visitor to vary the vantage points of this original work.
