Sounds of Silence for Van Cleef&ArpelsIf fairies do their Christmas shopping on place Vendôme, they won't be surprised by what they see in the Van Cleef & Arpels windows.
Rather, they will wonder how their familiar surroundings - a deep forest, of course - were transported there.
A poetic and fairy tale world has been created by two contemporary artists who combine image with sound to immerse the visitor in a luminous and silent world.
A fairy tale décor. Such is the description one could use to define the unexpected and poetic forest that has appeared in the windows of the Van Cleef & Arpels boutique on place Vendôme from the 15th of November to the end of January.
Where there are fairies... there is magic.
You only need to stop for a moment in front of this three-dimensional scene to discover that it is alive! The light changes imperceptibly, from dawn till dusk, to the crystal sounds of a techno music that was composed especially by Sounds of Silence.
And so, from the pink hues of dawn to the colours of twilight... the gradations of browns, greens and oranges transport this landscape of light and shadow through time.
The décor is made up entirely of white paper: large vertical panes are the backdrop for the shadows of a multitude of projected cut-out silhouette shapes.
