L’exil du cygne, 1982

GPO-0466

Dismantled work

The intervention in one of the niches of the Aurelian Walls constitutes the first formulation of the iconographic theme of L’exil du cygne. The lack of photographic records does not allow for a suitable documentation of the work, which includes the pencil life-size drawing of a swan on the blank sheet stretched along the rear wall of the room where the installation was mounted.
