The electric fairy “Art in the street”
“This is a remarkable work and an out-of-the-ordinary approach: to bring elegance and lightness to imposing metal carcasses. The artist’s imagination permitted Amnéville hill to become the runway where the immobile giants gave their fashion show. Here the notion of conserving the patrimonial heritage is central. Badly perceived by the public, but a symbol of our times, crowning the steel and concrete, these pylons are kept but transformed to keep a trace and memory. They are completely transformed into beautiful women dressed in illuminated gowns while their siblings on a medium term basis will disappear from the French territory. This is a nice surprise that this unusual and seductive beautification of the industrial patrimony, which is sometimes and with reason disparaged”.
