Navigating by the stars




A NEW ZODIAC FOR NEW NARRATIVES

Swept up by the incessant activity of our world, overwhelmed by information coming from all directions and plunged into short-term thinking? We can slow down, simply raise our eyes to the sky and observe the stars. They sometimes inspire humility and wisdom.



  When night falls on the world, and landmarks disappear, it seems safer to drop anchor, but old sailors know how to navigate by the stars.


To guide us in this rapidly changing world, through the ocean of solutions presented at ChangeNOW 2022, Tobie Chevallier has imagined 12 constellations, made of bamboo and light, which shine in the midnight blue sky of the Grand Palais Éphémère. (Max external dimensions L. 3m x W 3m x H. 1,5m)


“Navigating by the stars” is a reinterpreted zodiac associated with a set of 12 contemporary myths written by Tobie Chevallier and Ronan de la Croix (Curator at ChangeNOW) to make us dream or even meditate on the 12 themes of the show.
