French artistJRcontinues transforming famous sites intostunning illusionswith an installation at Paris' famed opera house.
The facade of Palais Garnier was turned into a stage for all to enjoy.
This is the first of two consecutive installations that the Paris Opera has commissioned from the well-respected artist.
The piece is titledRetour a la caverne Act I Lentree de la caverneand is visible until September 25.
Then, in November, JR will once again create a masterpiece for the theater.
For this second installation, the facade will be replaced by a giant embroidered stage curtain.
In Act I, Palais Garnier looks like it’s stuck between two times, shares the artist.
But upon closer inspection, the piece can also be interpreted as a work of art in permanent construction.
French street artist JR has created yet another illusion.
This time the Paris Opera has asked him to transform the facade of Palais Garnier.
