Bianca Bondi to transform Casino Luxembourg basement into living artwork over 2026
Bianca Bondi (b. 1986, Johannesburg; lives and works in Paris) will create 'Notes on Weathering' in the normally inaccessible basement of Casino Luxembourg – Forum d'art contemporain throughout 2026. The underground space, characterized by humidity, darkness, and minerality, is subject to natural processes of degradation, deposits, corrosion, and transformation. Bondi's installation does not represent or stage these phenomena but welcomes them as active forces that gradually modify matter, form, and relationships between elements. The term 'weathering' refers to the discrete yet irreversible processes transforming materials over time. The work is conceived as a year-long unfolding piece, engaging with the site's inherent conditions.
