mixing sound, movement, and light offers
sensory diversity in a soothing manner.
Daydreamer stimulates a wide range of
informal connections by inviting a very
wide audience to explore and connect
through joy.

Play
Known for creating free, playful
outdoor and interactive urban
installations that spark joy within public
spaces, Daily tous les jours has been
pioneering the importance of play and its
positive impacts on health and wellbeing.
The Daydreamer installation invites
members of the public to interact directly
with the work. It provides a simple ritual
around a moment of decompression
so that, as per the title of the work, the
public’s imagination is called into play,
and the public space becomes a place of
relaxation for urban dwellers.

musical benches allow passers-by to tune
in to the natural landscape, while creating
a new space for calm and collaboration in
the city. dw
