'Fly me to the moon' - Comte de Flandres metro station, Brussels.
This station is decorated by an installation by Paul van Hoeydonck called '16 x Icarus'. It is made up of sixteen characters that hang from the ceiling.
They are distributed at different heights in a sort of planetarium arrangement. The artist wanted to give them the rigidity of mannequins. Bodies, arms and legs have different positions, but they all unmistakably evoke forward movement and the force of a current that sucks them towards the concentration of planets, beckoning like a new, unknown world full of light and enchantment. This work of art stirs the emotions and captures the imagination; mine included.
