Photo from Borås City Park, 4 November 2026. The blue sculpture, called Vibration, was created by the French artist Xavier Veilhan, for an international sculpture biennial in 2014.
Linking to Skywatch Friday
When the Vibration sculpture first appeared in our city in 2014, it was in a different location from now - near the Textile Fashion Center; which was also opened that year. (The Center houses not only our Textile Museum, but also the Swedish School of Textiles, and some textile related businesses.)
“Thematically, his [Xavier Veilhan's] works revolve around our memory and our perception. He creates astounding effects by placing familiar objects in environments in which they appear foreign. - The horse and carriage, Vibration, stands out as almost as an illusion in blue. It takes its starting point in Italian futurism, a direction within art in the early 1900s that constantly strove to express movement.”
I remember this! I love it!! And that second shot with the blue windows and sky is amazing. It does look like a dream or vision. And it does look like it is vibrating.
