This creation by Guillaume Bottazzi is 4m high and is located on the historical heritage of the first skyscrapers of France. This diptych marks the symmetry of architecture with strangeness.

The artist Guillaume Bottazzi has signed more than 100 poetic works in public spaces and this creation of 4 meters high is located on the historical heritage of the first skyscrapers of France. This diptych marks the symmetry of architecture with strangeness. It leads us to travel with our imagination.
The famous artist Guillaume Bottazzi invites us to a gargantuan artistic journey with 40 works of art to discover in France as part of the 40th edition of the European Heritage Days. The works presented this year criss-cross the country from north to south, from Lille, through Paris, Lyon, Marseille and up to Mandelieu ... Ten of them are to be discovered in the Auvergne-Rhône-Alpes region and nine in Greater Lyon.
Located in one of the most emblematic streets of the city, lined with skyscrapers and shops, this creation created in 2009 is located on Rue Paul Verlaine in Villeurbanne, on a listed architecture. She received the congratulations of the Architects of Buildings of France.
This work is poetic and leads us to travel in an unreal universe. It creates an enchanting space that evolves by making the passerby dream.
