Description

André Fournelle, La ville blanche, 1986

Parc René-Levesque

« La ville blanche est installée dans le parc René-Lévesque. Située entre deux plans d’eau sur un vaste terrain, rayonnant au bout d’une allée de peupliers, l’œuvre sublime le paysage. Huit grands trapèzes en acier encerclent une colonne blanche de granit. Les éléments sculpturaux, disposés en cercle comme sur une cible vue de haut, sont organisés selon des principes de géométrie. Métaphore de la navigation et de la transition, l’œuvre monumentale, qui évoque l’image d’un navire amarré, appelle à la contemplation, aux loisirs et à la détente.

L’œuvre se veut également un hommage au temps qui passe, à l’instar du film auquel il fait référence. En effet, Fournelle s’est inspiré de Dans la ville blanche, un film d’Alain Tanner de 1983 portant sur le voyage que fait un marin à Lisbonne. Le personnage y fait l’expérience d’une ville où le temps paraît suspendu. »
