Les Spécialistes, Installation artwork in 3rd arrondissement, France
Les Spécialistes is a three-dimensional installation artwork in the 3rd arrondissement that redefines space through visual design and geometric form. The structure sits within the urban street and engages with its surroundings through sculptural presence.
Created by French artist Julien Berthier in 2006, the work emerged during a broader movement to place contemporary art into public streets. This approach marked a shift in how art and urban life were understood together.
The work invites visitors to see the street and surroundings differently by engaging directly with its form. It transforms how people move through and perceive the everyday urban environment around them.
The artwork sits in a central location with several metro stations nearby for easy access. You can visit freely at any time throughout the year without fees or restrictions.
Berthier chose materials and geometric principles that initially confuse viewers but gradually reveal their logic. Many passersby pause longer than expected to look and think about what they see.
