Selected to represent the french creative field inside the paris airport. I have been commissioned to design a permanent art installation amongst the new Paris Orly Terminal 3, recently unveiled this year in april. This new terminal will host 9 billions of traveller each year. The purpose was to give to them a last glips of french art before the journey. The Artwork, Vertigo, prepare them to flight. From outside, the structure deconstruct the environment, when you get inside, you experience a new paradigm, you are cut off the terminal, abstracted like in a parenthesis, it is like you are floating for a short time.

Vertigo is a 9 meters hight mirror installation, composed of 150 different size cubes, placed in a certain order that create an ellipse, a kind of twist, that once you are inside, invite your to look up in the sky, and experience a sort of vertigo, like in apesanteur, the purpose of this permanent installation was to evoke a premise to the air travel.

The artwork is a cylinder made of a steel hidden deck, an aluminium structure that composed each cubes, and stainless steel mirror finish, exclusively polished for the occasion. The weight of the structure is 5 tonnes and 3 years of engineering was necessary to match the airport terminal constraints.
