Acclaimed artist, musician, and composer Céleste Boursier-Mougenot presents the largest iteration to date of his ongoing aquatic and musical installation, featuring a series of circular basins filled with water in which ordinary ceramic bowls float and gently collide to produce melodious chiming sounds. These physical and sonic configurations are constantly changing, creating a bespoke auditory experience that invites audiences to contemplate time and sound as both individual and collective experiences.
