Sieste

Newly arrived in Saint-Etienne, the MetaLab team has decided to make a place for itself in the Saint-Etienne cultural scene by timing the opening of its artists' centre, Reticular, with the city's most emblematic cultural event.

And so we invite you to take a break for a siesta, as you wander around the venues. With Theory Of Everything by Mp0804-h, neon is cast against type, used not to attract the passer-by to goods that are for sale, but to encourage reflection. In this installation, a vault of neon lights creates a hallowed place, one that encourages introspection. The sound system and the cushions on the floor will accompany nappers into a meditative state, where they can let their spirit wander. Far from orienting, the neon lights here help people to let their imagination run free, to reflect in a serene atmosphere, close to that of a place of worship.
