Ernest Pignon-Ernest, the inventor of urban art. The surveyor of the walls of the whole world! It was in Naples, in 1990, that the artist placed the body of Mary Magdalene, a legacy of Caravaggio, on the walls of the city. Saints and women of vision: from Mary Magdalene to Hildegard of Bingen; from Teresa of Avila to Catherine of Siena; they will rise in the cool night of the abbey, still purer on these aluminum leaves, above a pool whose water will mirror the bodies in suspension. These forms, which made the happiness of Naples, Nice, Avignon, Saint-Denis and Lille.
