Soleil’s, the second Solar Biennale at mudac in Lausanne, Switzerland, showcases design's potential in solar innovation. Founded by designers Marjan van Aubel and Pauline van Dongen, The Solar Movement seeks to make solar energy a standard power source. This exhibition immerses visitors in new and existing projects from various artists, guided by principles emphasizing beauty, functionality, and sustainability in solar solutions. It centers on three themes: energy, politics, and popular culture, examining material possibilities and the social implications of a solar-powered future.
"The aim of The Solar Movement is to establish solar design as a recognized design driver worldwide, focusing on cultural dimensions rather than purely technical aspects."
"The movement proposes a shift toward a culture, materiality, and everyday life centered on the sun, guided by principles of design-driven innovation and contextual inspiration."
"The exhibition is structured around three themes: energy, politics, and popular culture, exploring both material possibilities and sociopolitical implications."
"Soleil's exhibition features immersive works from various artists, including new commissions that foster a self-sustaining energy cycle through aesthetic transformations."
