JAEGER-LECOULTRE | PASSENGERS: THROUGH TIME
International tour - Chengdu 2022 - Dubaï 2023
In 2020, TETRO+A is producing Guillaume Marmin's Passengers installation, a travelling capsule that invites you to take a journey.
This immersive, sound and light experience of a suspended passage between past and future is a real metaphor for the change of era we are going through.
In 2023, TETRO continues to nurture the imaginations of brands through artistic creation, giving this installation a new lease of life. For Jaeger-Lecoultre, Guillaume Marmin has created a new chapter of Passengers to be presented around the world.
"Passengers: Through Time" focuses on celestial and astronomical observation, offering visitors - or 'passengers' - an exploration of the links between time, space and light, as described by the theory of relativity. For the artist, "The challenge of this project is to make perceptible the relationship between the observation of the sky and the measurement of time".
"Passengers: Through Time" is inspired by the grandeur of the cosmos. During the planning phase of the work, Guillaume consulted the Grenoble Institute of Planetology and Astrophysics. The installation invites visitors to explore time, space and light on an impressive immersive journey.
"Passengers: Through Time" is an integral part of The Stellar Odyssey exhibition by Jaeger-LeCoultre. As such, it will travel around the world for 3 years with Jaeger-Lecoultre. Its content will be perpetually modified and renewed, according to the solar calendar and geographical coordinates of each destination, thus expressing celestial phenomena in real time and place.
