Bubble Palais Galaxy
For the event The Night of the Museums, the Grand Palais in Paris, a celebrated glass shell of Beaux Art architecture was jazzed up with decidedly un-Beaux Art neon purple lighting and frothy detergent bubble blowers. The combination was a surreal, unhinged floating experience, not unlike a spaceship with the balustrade as control bars.
This space was a challenge to reconstruct because not only was the experience was so arresting in the X-Y axis but also in the X-Z axis. Both planes revolved 360 degrees — one encompassing all the walls and the amazing balustrade, and the other revolving from the concrete floor to the ethereal glass ceiling. It’s a rather contrasting marriage of materials and elements: glass, light, air, concrete, steel, and filigree.
