About
It is a metal representation of the Eiffel Tower, similar to the one created for the 1900 World's Fair in Paris, at a 1:10 scale. This version will be cut in two, as if it had crashed into the desert after a chaotic journey: • The lower section, with its four legs planted in the ground, symbolizes the sinking of a lost civilization, • While the top of the tower, pointing toward the sky, offers hope for a brighter future. A cable will be stretched between the two peaks so that a tightrope walker can cross from one end to the other.
