Rainbow Under The Stone

Project for Lyon Biennale X, 2009 at Vaulx en Velin June 18, 2009.
The Veduta is one of the projects bringing art to the people to spur creative thinking and bring luster to their everyday life. Other artists in residence were Bik van der Pol, at the Grand Parc, and Robert Milin in Lyon 8 and Venissieux.

The Sucrière, an old sugar factory used as a warehouse until the 1990s when it was converted into a 7,000-square-meter art space, holds the largest part of the works in this exhibition. Entering it is like visiting a construction site, with the banging noise of Indian artist Shilpa Gupta's (b. 1976) iron gate pervading the space, supposedly a strong critique of the prevailing social and political situation.
Cut the Mountain and Let It Fly is the title of another work in front of the Sucrière. Eko is also a star of the Veduta project in Vaulx-en-Velin, where he resided and worked with immigrant residents. Together they created a shadow puppet show, combining the Javanese wayang kulit, the Lyon Guignol theater folklore and their joint imaginations. Excerpts of Rainbow under the Stone are shown within this building.
