I saw this today in the Jardins d’Albertas in Aix en Provence. From the distance I could see these amazing billowing sheets. I don’t know what they are made of but they floated, danced and drifted constantly. Then as I got closer I noticed all the deck chairs scattered across the grass. I thought they were for people to sit on, but then realised they were part of the same art installation.
The whole set was totally engrossing. I stood here, transfixed, and somehow, those deck chairs seemed like the animals you see at the zoo and in a moment, suddenly, you think “They’re all looking at ME!”
Only once I’d uploaded the photo did I see all the shadows, and there’s one of the ways in which a photo can let you see something even more clearly. Why didn’t I notice the shadows at the time? Well, I’m glad I see them now!
I love a good art installation and I’m a big fan of Anthony Gormley, however, I’m afraid I couldn’t find any information at all about the artist responsible for this work.
Here are some more photos from other angles………
Heroes Not Zombies 
Excellent description, dancing.
And as to the shadows, until you mentioned them, I didn’t notice them.
Wonderful Capture.
Thankyou Jonathan. Isn’t it interesting how the more we look, the more we see. What I can’t show in a photo is how these sheets billowed in the wind. The movement was beautiful and quite serene
