Edoardo Tresoldi's monumental 'Aura' installation at Le Bon Marché in Paris

Edoardo Tresoldi presents 'Aura', a monumental installation at Le Bon Marché Rive Gauche in Paris, featuring two ephemeral 'ruined' architectures: one in wire mesh and another in corrugated metal, a material used for the first time by the artist. The eight-meter-tall structures are suspended in the halls of the historic department store, designed by architect Louis-Charles Boileau and engineer Gustave Eiffel in the mid-19th century, which has become a cultural venue hosting artists like Tadao Ando, Ai Weiwei, and Chiharu Shiota. Inspired by Renaissance palaces and Neoclassicism, Tresoldi's work explores the relationship between man and architecture through imperfection, creating a temporary balance between past and future, contrasting with his earlier 'Archetipo' garden in Abu Dhabi. The exhibition runs until October 22, 2017.
