Les Halles, 2011
Materials: cardboard, tape, plexiglas, coloured paper, glue, paint
Approximate scale: 1 footstep = 1.5 cm of cardboard
Dimensions: 350 x 160 x 83 cm
This second work based on Les Halles in Paris explores the complex derelict knot of rail and Métro interchanges, subterranean retail chain stores, tunnels, and passageways that make up Les Halles today. Damaged, fifthly found cardboard is used to recreate the hallways of the underground shopping mall; black gaffer tape clads the deep penetrating escalator holes and 70’s orange and turquoise blue fills the underground level of the RER rapid train housed in the bowels of Les Halles.
