The Piper At The Gate Of Down

Ilse Bing

"In the days when the diplodocus lived in Wyoming a great body of water extended into the land and the diplodocus, like other animals of the reptile family, spent a large part of his time in these waters."

'La Caverne du Pont Neuf,' Paris, France,

It’s 120 metres long and rises to its highest point at 18 metres.

It celebrates the legendary artist duo, Christo and Jeanne-Claude, who famously wrapped the exact same bridge in golden fabric back in September 1985 (The Pont Neuf Wrapped).

The interior functions as an immersive tunnel. It features an experimental, electroacoustic soundscape composed by Thomas Bangalter (former member of Daft Punk), alongside integrated augmented reality (AR) experiences.

From June 6 to 28, La Caverne du Pont Neuf will then be open to the public free of charge 24 hours a day, 7 days a week.

The artwork is funded without public funds.
