France - The Riviera - Antibes - The Nomad 10_mono_DSC9365

My Website : Twitter : Facebook : Instagram : Photocrowd

A fisheye photo taken inside the striking 'Nomad' sculpture by Jaume Plensa, situated at the end of the Bastion St-Jaume on the Antibes harbourfront. I like this shot as you can just about see the human form despite it having been taken from inside looking out.

I didn't really intend uploading both the colour and the mono version of this shot but I really like the way the mono version has white letters on black and black letters on white. There's a point in the middle where this crosses over and the letters almost disappear.

As visitors to my photostream over the past few days will have spotted I was rather taken by this sculpture......

Google translated from the www.antibes-juanlespins.com/culture/bastion-st-jaume website, "In 2007, La Grande Nomade d'Antibes was presented here as part of the temporary exhibition organized by the Picasso Museum and dedicated to the artist, Jaume Plensa. In 2010, the monumental sculpture returns as the permanent invitation to a journey in the sculpture whose space - made of emptiness and silence - beyond that of the material which constitutes it, opens and unfolds around she, gigantic figurehead of the bastion.

It was acquired by the City of Antibes with the participation of the State, the Regional Acquisition Fund for Museums (Ministry of Culture and Communication), the Association of Friends of the Picasso Museum, the Joint Stock Company of Port Vauban, and the International Yacht Club of Antibes."
