On a fixed point from a fixed point

'On a fixed point from a fixed point' is a text-based installation in the Tuileries Garden made of white letters set against a dark background. The work creates strong visual contrast within the garden's natural landscape.

The piece was created by Lawrence Weiner in 1992, marking a key moment in expanding the garden's contemporary art collection. This addition strengthened the site's role as a venue for modern artistic works.

The installation uses language as an artistic tool, weaving words into the garden's established space. Visitors notice how text transforms their perception of the surroundings and invites reflection on the physical environment.

The installation is located in the central area of the Tuileries Garden and is easily accessible on foot. Visitors can view the work while strolling through the garden and approach it from multiple angles.

The work plays with the concept of spatial reference points and changes depending on the viewer's position. This dependence on the visitor's perspective makes each encounter with it a personal experience.
