christo guelov celebrates the history of toulouse with colorful hydroelectric turbine

madrid-based artist christo guelov’s kinetic installation ‘color mobile’ seeks to connect the past and present setting a 3 meters in diameter hydroelectric turbine at the shore of tarn river, toulouse. historically, the river used to produce electricity for the brusson plant, which is now abandoned.

guelov’s works always try to bring as much color as possible to our everyday lives. apart from this one, the artist has created works of an immersive scale, for example, painted bridges in toulouse and gothenburg.
