While walking along the banks of the Rhone river, I suddenly spotted men seemingly flying through the air. As night fell, they became more visible.
I had actually stumbled upon the open-air exposition of Cédric le Borgne, part of the Trees and Lights festival in Geneva. The figures I saw floating in the air, were iron sculptures hanging in the air and exposed from lights from a distance. The figures are called travellers, and have names such as the Wiseman, the Guardian, and the Explorer. The exposition is called Yalil, an arabic word that loosely translates to the poetry of the night. As the night fell over Geneva and the travellers became always more visible, I realized the word was well-chosen.
