Le Banquet Solaire
The sun is shining.
Would you like to come to the beach with me?
It’s the perfect day for a lunch by the Mediterranean. We’ll sit on the sand, sheltered from the sea spray, between rocks, shellfish and crustaceans. Our bodies are warming up.
The sun shines.
And it becomes a resource. Like Félix Trombe, inspired by the solar experiments of the 1970s, we decide to build a solar oven to cook a few dishes from the land and sea to bring this banquet to life.
The sun is burning.
On this beach, we spent our time and saw time go by. Over the years, the heat has increased and the water has risen. Today, the sun’s rays have shone too brightly and burnt our lunch. The sand is turning black and the cutlery is melting. The Mediterranean is turning into a sea of silver, flames and ash. This fire remains suspended in time.
The sun burns.
It will continue to shine forever.
