In Classical Antiquity, as in the modern European tradition, the
armillary spheres, geocentric, and then heliocentric, were not only
models of the universe, but also supports for contemplation, inviting
the viewer to meditate on the place of man in the immensity of the
cosmos, on the vanity of his values, on the ephemeral nature of his
existence in the light of the cosmic eternity.
"Sphaera Armillaris" is inspired by this philosophical tradition and
invites to a journey in spirit into the mechanics of the world: ambient
music, made of slow rotations and expansion of the gaze, between centre
and periphery, between different scales of contemplation and listening,
in the mechanics and geometry of cosmic circles and wheels.
