Paris: RINGdeLUXE

Plastique Fantastique (aka Marco Canevacci and Yena Young) created RINGdeLUXE, an exciting in situ installation enveloping the iconic Léopold-Sédar-Senghor footbridge across the Seine for the 2023 Nuit Blanche festival. The monumental ring artwork captures the imagination of its observers with its visually striking and mechanically complex structural design.

The reflective, metallic appearing installation acts as both a link and a boundary in the heart of Paris. The passerelle Léopold-Sédar-Senghor, formerly known as passerelle Solférino (or pont de Solférino), is a footbridge over the River Seine in the 7th arrondissement of Paris.

The carefully designed placement of the giant ring around the Léopold-Sédar-Senghor footbridge serves a dual purpose, symbolically connecting the two shores of the city while also embodying the relationship between Paris, its river, and its inhabitants.
