The Melting Building

This real building is located on the Avenue George V in Paris, near the Champs Elysees. It will house the headquarters of the Bleecker group by the end of 2007. Since the building is in renovation the Bleecker group asked the society Anthem to imagine a cover for their building. The artist Pierre Delavie with the help of 40 people created this ungenious work. He took cliches of the existing facade, distorted the image and printed it on a huge canvas sheet of 2500 square meters. Some reliefs are stuck to the Canvas to enhance the reality of the trompe-l'oeil. My photos of the building were taken on October 9, 2007

? it's all canvases stuck to the side of the building? wow. there's a building in Cleveland, Ohio, part of the University, that an architect designed some of the walls to be really distorted - in bricks - so the lines of the building look melted.
