L'Arc, Contemporary sculpture in Paris 13th district, France.
The aluminum sculpture L'Arc stands prominently at an intersection, creating a visual focus point in the urban environment of southern Paris.
Created by Swiss artist Urs Fischer, L'Arc was installed in the 13th arrondissement as part of a movement to introduce modern art into residential areas.
The sculpture demonstrates the evolution of contemporary art installations in Paris, combining industrial materials with geometric forms in public spaces.
Visitors can observe L'Arc at any time, with metro station Bibliothèque François Mitterrand providing direct access to the sculpture's location.
The metallic structure reflects different intensities of light throughout the day, altering its appearance from morning to evening.
