"Tomislav Topić turns the chapel at Centre d'art Les 3 CHA in Châteaugiron, France, into a floating chromatic field with ECHOVERSE, an optical installation composed of 451 translucent layers in 57 colors. Spanning thirteen suspended modules and rising nearly sixteen meters, the work recasts the vaulted interior as an environment where color behaves like sound, drifting, echoing, and reshaping the perception of depth."
"Installed after more than a year of research and five days of on-site assembly, the piece, on view through December 14th, 2025, introduces a contemporary, weightless counterpoint to the chapel's heavy stone volumes. From the ground, ECHOVERSE appears like a slow-moving gradient frozen mid-flow: sheets of mesh overlap into bands of violet, red, orange, and blue, shifting saturation as daylight threads through the historic stained-glass windows."
Tomislav Topić transforms the chapel at Centre d'art Les 3 CHA in Châteaugiron, France into ECHOVERSE, an optical installation of 451 translucent layers in 57 colors. Thirteen suspended modules rise nearly sixteen meters, recasting the vaulted interior as an environment where color drifts, echoes, and reshapes depth. Installed after more than a year of research and five days of on-site assembly, the piece creates a contemporary, weightless counterpoint to heavy stone volumes. Overlapping sheets of almost imperceptibly thin mesh form slow-moving gradients that catch daylight, project faint ripples, and expand the work beyond its physical limits.
