Le bateau ivre

The structure of the floors lean against a huge slanted wall. Three steel shapes run the length of the four-floor high slanted wall, forming ledges and peaks. These shapes have been cut and assembled, and their surfaces - alternately smooth, brushed or engraved - are covered with enamel paint. The surface of the concrete wall features a grid and a thin screen made of electronic circuits can be seen in between the shapes. On the ground, against the wall, an excerpt of a poem by Arthur Rimbaud is engraved onto stainless steel plaques.
