Énergies, Bronze sculpture at Gare de Châtelet - Les Halles, France
Énergies is a bronze sculpture approximately 8 meters long and 3 meters high with a concave rectangular form. The polished surface displays carved patterns, figures, and mathematical symbols integrated into the station's main hall.
French artist Pierre-Yves Trémois created this monumental work in 1977 for the Châtelet-Les-Halles station complex. It was installed during a period of major modernization of Paris's public transportation infrastructure.
The work merges science and art by displaying mathematical formulas like Schrödinger's equation and Heisenberg's uncertainties across its polished surface. Visitors can spot these scientific references woven into the sculptural composition, creating a dialogue between two different fields of knowledge.
The sculpture sits in the station's central hall near the Lescot exit and ticket counters. Visitors can easily see it while passing through the busy exchange area.
A striking stingray figure emerges from the center of the relief and stands out against a large carved circular disc. This unexpected animal form brings life and organic quality to the mathematical composition.
