Coups de Coeur (Weekend Reflections # 385)

Lyon, France

So what is it? 
Well, it's a reflection in a window of a closed shop that had one of those pull down chain link gates behind the glass. The reflection is an illuminated building with a big red beating heart in front of it. The bottom of the heart is obscured by silhouettes of the people watching the show. People were able to touch a console that allowed the heart to match their heart's rhythm with light flashes as love songs played over loud speakers.   
This was one of the installations at the Fête des Lumières. Click HERE to see a 30 second video of the installation.

Happy Reflecting and Happy Valentine's Day!

I'm glad you told what was going on as I always try to reconstruct your reflections (or deconstruct them?) before reading your text. Interesting exhibit. I wonder if they ever diagnosed a heart problem such as tachycardia!

Pleine de symboles en plus...

Nice optical illusion. The building looks to be in the distance through a fence.
