The Contemporary Art Funds of the City and State of Geneva have initiated an ambitious and singular public art project called « Neon Parallax ». Luminous artworks are set on the roofs of buildings around the Plaine de Plainpalais.

This project was specifically conceived for the Plaine de Plainpalais. Away from the prestigious lakefront tourist context, it offers an original and diversified urban space which combines local commercial, cultural, seasonal and festive activities.
Since 2006, six luminous installations of Swiss and international artists have been made : in 2006-2007 «YES TO ALL» by Sylvie Fleury (CH) and «BREATH» by Jérôme Leuba (CH) ; in 2007-2008 «What I still have to take care of» by Christian Jankowski (D), and «EXPODROME» by Dominique Gonzalez-Foerster (F) ; in 2008-2009 «Axis of Silence» by Sislej Xhafa (Kosovo) and «Fly a Dragon Kite» by Nic Hess (CH).

Three new luminous installations have been produced by the following artists : Ann Veronica Janssens, Pierre Bismuth and Christian Robert-Tissot. These installations have been selected following a contest upon invitation, a public contest and a
direct order.
This fourth and last phase finalizes this public art project.
