CADRAN SOLAIRE MONUMENTAL

Monumental steel sundial. (2013

Behind the church and its grotto of Saint Vital, the work is intended to be an educational tool, to deepen the knowledge of children and adults about the sun and astronomy and to open the public to an approach to contemporary art.

This imposing hemispherical sundial (4.5mH x 4mL), created by visual artist Marie Hélène Richard with the help of Mr Bohu, is a contemporary work of art with an educational vocation. Its original design, based on the projection of a ray of light rather than a shadow, makes it a unique and resolutely modern object.
