Dive into Corals of Freedom, an immersive installation created within the intimate setting of the Colonne de Juillet, in the very heart of Paris.
This monumental textile work, handcrafted in linen fiber, unfolds from the crypts to the top of the rotunda in a subtle chromatic evolution — from immaculate white to deep red — symbolizing depletion, then regeneration.
This textile reef is both a metaphor for resilience and a tribute to the history of the site: a monument celebrating liberty and water, and an artistic intervention that invites resonance between memory, matter, and the breath of the living.
Through this virtual journey, Aude Franjou invites you to discover the delicacy of the artisanal gesture, pushing the limits of textile suspended in space; the dialogue between material and its architectural environment; and the silent power of a form that reemerges, transforms, and unfolds.
Let yourself be carried away into this organic and tactile universe.
