Motus Vitae

Nederlandse versie »

Motus Vitae (life movement) shows a fascinating miracle in the forest of the Lumière Park. This planetarium looks like a mysterious planetary system that lives and breathes technologically, a miniature of an undiscovered place in the universe? We usually see planetariums in a museum, but here in the Almere city park this wonderful system becomes an invitation to be curious about the universe, the planet under your feet, and as a miniature also to find the vulnerability of life fascinating. According to the artists, looking at this work of art is a ritual of surrender to everything we do not yet know, makes us curious and then: chance.
