Reflective Coliseum Structures

The Ring Installation by Arnaud LaPierre and AUDI is Optically Bold

— August 21, 2012 — Art & Design
The Ring Installation by Arnaud LaPierre and AUDI is showcased in the heart of Paris. Placed in front of the city's famed Vendome, this alluring art installation challenges the boundaries of human perception.

The optically deceiving art piece is made up of a multitude of mirrored cubes that glow while reflecting light. The reflective elements are placed together, creating a curvilinear structure resembling a coliseum.

Marrying tradition with modernity, the Ring Installation by Arnaud LaPierre and AUDI takes its inspiration from the hustle and bustle of city life. When approaching the installation, visitors take in reflections of their urban surroundings as well as those of their own face multiplied in numbers.

This dynamic art piece shone at Paris’ Foire Internationale D'art Contemporain fair this month.
