Quantum Tunneling

The installation is structured around three themes, all related to tunnels:

 

* the mining tunnel, which refers to miners in Central Africa, particularly in the DRC, who work in appalling conditions and whose children are shamelessly exploited.

 

* The tunnels dug by Elon Musk in the United States. He uses magnetic levitation, a physical phenomenon that allows very high speeds to be reached (already used in Asian countries).

 

* wormholes, which scientists believe are tunnels that would allow travel from one universe to another

Quantum tunneling is an experience to be lived. It is an immersive work, and the journey is reminiscent of tunnels. This installation appeals to different senses: sight, kinesthesia, and hearing.
