Le Jardin hospitalier, 2015

Le Jardin hospitalier (2015)
Light installation

 

12 light boxes, Duratrans mounted on Perspex; LED light panels with fluorescent Plexiglas; Douglas Fir panels; powder-coated steel panels; hand-painted wall texts.
Each light box and abstract element 2.5 x 1.7m

 

A major, permanent light installation that transforms a 100-metre-long windowless corridor in Hôpital Roger Salengro in Lille, France, part of CHRU, Northern Europe’s largest hospital. Le Jardin hospitalier brings light and a sense of place into the clinical environment suggesting a correlation between caring for plants and people, as well as referencing the technologies and architecture that supports each. The work was inspired by Lille’s important history of botanical medicine.
