Le Passe-muraille

The sculpture consists of two perforated bronze hemispheres measuring three meters in height and six meters in diameter, positioned opposite each other.

Installed above the ancient casemates network in December 2006, the structure connects to Luxembourg's military past through its strategic location.

Each hemisphere contains 8000 holes that filter light and create visual connections with the surrounding green spaces of Parc du Pescatore.

Visitors can enter both hemispheres during park hours and experience the changing light patterns through the perforated bronze walls.

The structure functions as a sensory chamber where the acoustic properties change based on the position of people inside the hemispheres.
