To commemorate the 40th anniversary of Christo and Jeanne-Claude's project on the Pont Neuf in Paris, contemporary artist JR will create a large-scale installation called Projet Pont Neuf.
The installation will transform the iconic bridge into a stone-like cave for two weeks in September 2025.
JR's design is inspired by the quarries that provided Paris with its historic stones, symbolizing the city's evolving relationship with nature and architecture.
The project has received enthusiastic support from Paris Mayor Anne Hidalgo and will be privately funded, continuing the legacy of public art in Paris.
