Shown in Paris in 2019, this suspended piece is 100 feet long, 40 feet wide and 30 feet tall. Wow. Mind blown. It has LEDs!

“Joana Vasconcelos has done in this enormous installation now up in Paris’ oldest department Le Bon Marché. Dubbed Branco Luz (“White as Light”) and “Simone” (in homage to French thinkers Simone de Beauvoir and Simone Weil) the work features an inflatable, sinuous form that is covered with crocheted textiles.”

Here are some close-up process shots via Tree Hugger.
