French artist JR has begun installing a temporary art installation, a massive 'cave' structure, over Paris's oldest bridge, the Pont Neuf.
Artist JR is transforming the 17th-century Pont Neuf bridge in Paris into a 'stone-age' cave as a tribute to the late artists Christo and Jeanne-Claude. The massive installation spans 120 meters and rises as high as a six-story building, yet remarkably weighs only five tons. Aiming to reintroduce mineral and nature themes into the urban environment, this temporary, privately funded, and free public exhibit will be accessible starting June 6.
