Glass bubbles at Bryce Canyon
The harshness of the canyon is a amazing juxtaposition to the smooth bubbles.

Vincent Leroy, the Paris-based artist, recently proposed a wonderful installation of levitating orbs at Utah’s Bryce Canyon. “Bubbles in Canyon” features a mass of transparent spheres suspended in rotation between the cliffs. The hope is that the installation will offer viewers the opportunity to contemplate nature through an optical effect.
Imagine walking underneath the bubbles…

Watching each bubble reflect the color and shape of the cliff is similar to watching a movie. The colors of the sky affect what the bubbles capture. In such, the installation highlights the warmth and richness of this special place in Utah.
Each bubble captures the color and shape of the nearby cliff and the installation captures the canyon’s bounty. Leroy says that he dreamt up this project as a mix of poetry and simple technology, with the aim of separating us from the “real world.”
The reflected designs are truly infinite.

Our reflection on the relationship between speed and the distance of reality is what Leroy finds vital in today’s modern world. The mobile would be a suspension of assembled bubbles held up by cables from a turntable… a perfectly proportioned balance of the whole.
The reflections that happen upon the glass bubbles are stunning!

Courtesy of Collater.al, the artist intends to offer us a “dislocated immersion of reality and abstract contemplation.”
