The paradoxical nature of light (a particle or a wave?) is the premise for this project. We explore how universal this paradox is: is a rugby team more like a wave than a particle? And a democratic election? Is human society made of particles or waves?
There are five works distributed through the school, each developed through a participative process with students and staff of the school.

A work for the ceiling of the entrance hall, involving a trampoline and several hundred students!
A drawing project - reproducing historical studies exploring the nature of light - to be printed on the groundfloor windows of the school
A drawing project to make an experimental ceiling work using coloured light and two superimposed drawings
A video project exploring sports movements—reduced to a simple play of dots—with the students.
An external work introducing the students to colour complementarity with a play of colour-filtering lenses arranged into a ‘circle of complements’ in the courtyard of the new school.
