Mur de galets

Mur de galets (Shingle Wall), 2006.

Permanente installation, Central Plaza, Brussels, 2006: shingles of different colors and sizes, 1300 cm (43 ft) wide × 45 cm (18 in) thick × 150 to 280 cm (5 to 9 ft) high.

The wall is made of shingles of different colors, materials, and sizes placed into eleven wire-and-gauze-framed compartments. The contours made by the shingles in the compartments are irregular, echoing the architectural diversity of surrounding structures reflected in the glass panels of the Central Plaza building.
