French artist JR begins his giant ‘cave’ art inflation over Paris’ oldest bridge
French artist JR has begun inflating a giant art installation called 'La Caverne du Pont Neuf' over Paris' oldest bridge, the Pont Neuf. The project, which aims to transform the bridge into a monumental cave, will open to the public from June 6 to 28. This ambitious artwork is designed to encourage visitors to reflect on their relationship with technology and reality.
- ▪The installation is 120 meters long and 18 meters tall, built almost entirely from air.
- ▪JR's project is a tribute to past monumental art, referencing Christo's wrapping of the bridge in 1985.
- ▪The cave is designed to make visitors lose track of time as they walk through a dark tunnel.
