Cirque du Temps transforms the façade of the royal stables, the Petite Écurie Royale—completed in 1682 by Jules Hardouin-Mansart, master architect of the French Baroque—into a celestial meditation on memory and time. Located opposite the gilded gates of Versailles, the former domain of royal carriages is now encircled by mirrored and multiplied sculpted horses, forming a perfect orbit of stone and symmetry. At its heart, an astrolabe dial—borrowed from the Cathédrale de Saint-Omer, adorned with signs of the Zodiac and older than the stables themselves—anchors this architectural constellation, suggesting time’s unrelenting course. As the horses watch over a gateway long silent, the astrolabe reminds us that even the most enduring symbols—these sculpted horses of stone and ceremony—blur into history’s haze, their vigilance intact but their purpose long eclipsed.
