Hommage to Préfet Érignac, Memorial art installation in 16th arrondissement, France.
The installation features several benches with brass plaques displaying quotes from Claude Érignac's personal notes, accompanied by a light projection on the facade.
The artwork was inaugurated in 2004 to commemorate Claude Érignac, the Prefect of Corsica who was assassinated in 1998 while serving his duties.
The memorial represents French administrative values through contemporary art, combining text engravings with architectural elements in a public space setting.
Visitors can reach the memorial by taking Metro Line 9 to Ranelagh station and walking through the residential area of Avenue Mozart.
Each bench in the installation contains three brass plaques that illuminate differently as natural light changes throughout the day.
