We originally featured the work of Canadian artist Michel de Broin back in April 2007. Today, we’re showing off one of his latest projects, which is essentially an oversized disco ball that was hung high in Parisian sky for their annual Nuit Blanche. Now if images of the Bee Gee’s, John Travolta, and platform shoes are tainting the image, rest assured that de Broin’s creation was pure class. Michel described the installation, dubbed la Maîtresse de la Tour Eiffel, as follows:
The spectacular view of the starry sky has long been a source of delight and curiosity, but the abundance of artificial light in urban areas produces a glow that covers the stars in the firmament. The largest mirror ball ever made was suspended from a construction crane 50 meters above the ground to render the starry sky to the citizens of Paris for one night in the Jardin du Luxembourg during the Nuit Blanche event.
