PANTA RHEI

Heraclitus, the apostle of 'mobilism', a doctrine according to which 'nothing is permanent except change', so that 'being is eternally becoming'. Panta Rhei, 'everything flows', summarises for Heraclitus the thought of a world in perpetual motion. 

Located in the Chiers Park in Differdange, the site is an ideal place to symbolise the futile and ephemeral nature of all life on earth: by the river that flows through it and by its immediate environment made up of constantly reconstituted landscapes. The park is also a place where neighbourhoods, generations, cultures and eras meet. 

The project calls on the imagination of artists to create 4 sculptures which should, without constraints or directives, express the idea of Panta Rheî. The walker will be invited to meditate on the flow of becoming by contemplating the works created by the artists. Thematic conferences and a communication blog are planned.
