Hundreds of Floating Porcelain Bowls Turn Water Into Music in Outdoor Athens Installation
Hundreds of white porcelain bowls drift across deep-blue pools, slowly approaching one another before meeting with a delicate chime. French artist and composer Céleste Boursier-Mougenot’s clinamen transforms these everyday objects into a constantly changing musical instrument. For its latest presentation, the installation moves outdoors for the first time, filling Athens’s historic Onassis Mandra. The historic venue dates back to the Belle Époque era (1871–1914) and is the only surviving open-air Athenian theater from the period.
