Cirque du Temps transforms the facade of the Petite Écurie Royale (completed in 1784), located opposite the gilded gates of Versailles, into a celestial meditation on memory and time. Once the domain of royal carriages, the gateway’s sculpted horses are mirrored and multiplied, forming a perfect orbit of stone and symmetry. At its heart, the astrolabe dial—borrowed from the Cathédrale de Saint-Omer, adorned with signs of the Zodiac and older than the stable itself—anchors this architectural constellation, hinting at time’s unrelenting course. As the horses watch over a gateway long silent, the astrolabe's dial serves as a reminder that all things, even the most steadfast, eventually fade into a haze of blurred history.
