Inspired by Confucius’s quote that the only constant in life is change, Octo symbolizes a world in the midst of transformation. Invited to contemplate the work for a few minutes, the viewer finds themselves immersed in an atmosphere straight out of a science fiction novel.

Octo and Asklipion in Corsica

Octo and Asklipion in Corsica

From September 12 to 14, 2025, the village of Borgo was transformed into an open stage where the dialogue between works of art and heritage offered a new reading of the latter.

The works Asklipion and Octo by artist Emilien Guesnard joined the program of eight light, sound and visual installations that punctuated an astonishing nocturnal stroll through sacred, hidden and natural places.
