Bassin

Bassin, Basin by Vassilakis Panayotis, aka Takis, Puteaux, La Défense, Paris

Bassin (Basin) by Vassilakis Panayotis, aka Takis, 1988
Puteaux, La Défense
Paris, July 2002

“Takis has imagined an aquatic surface, about 50 metres on each side, on which are placed 49 multicoloured lights of different heights (between 3.50 and 9 metres) that seem to be spring-mounted. Perfectly integrated into the perspective of the historical axis, visible from the Esplanade and from Neuilly, these lights, with their colourful geometric shapes, flash and swing in a playful and enchanting ballet.” (Bassin, Paris La Défense)
