Only two more weeks to see fashion designer JC de Castelbajac‘s cosmic installation ‘Astronomy Domine’ (btw, also the name of a Pink Floyd song, written by Syd Barrett) commemorating the 400th anniversary of Henry IV’s death. Castelbajac has installed a neon frame around an existing equestrian sculpture of Henry IV on the Pont Neuf, and also placed a lightsaber in the King’s hand. Below is a video of the official inauguration from 14 May, presided over Minister of Culture Frédéric Mitterand.
Until 14 July.
