In Greco-Roman antiquity, an αsklipion was a healing shrine dedicated to Asklipios. In the Homeric epic, Asklipios is the god of medicine. Son of Apollo, he is the mythical ancestor of the Asklipiades, a dynasty of physicians practicing in Cos and Knidos, of whom Hippocrates is the most illustrious member.

Halfway between the Greek temple from which the work takes its name, an apothecary's stall and an open-air exhibition wall, αsklipion consists of 120 LED lamps housing frozen plants magnified by light and music.
A fountain is placed at the heart of the installation, reinforcing the calming effect felt in the vicinity of the installation with its sound and the presence of water.

In concrete terms, αsklipion translates plants into light and sound. The work offers the viewer a soothing, almost therapeutic experience. Its light and sound programming is built in harmony with the medicinal properties of each plant. Relaxing, it is reminiscent of light and music therapy. Each plant and its properties are identified by labels and a card.

Colors, sources of energy, combined with the soothing power of music and the virtues of plants, plunge the spectator into a harmonious, rejuvenating universe.
αsklipion is an ode to nature, a haven of peace in the hustle and bustle of the city.
