La Voix lactée, Contemporary mosaic in Saint-Lazare metro station, Paris, France
The mosaic displays magnified red lips against a dark background, stretching across the wall of the underground passage between metro lines.
The 2011 installation marks the cooperation between Montreal and Paris transit systems, celebrating 50 years of Montreal metro operations.
The artwork incorporates poetry verses by Anne Hébert on the tunnel walls, combining visual arts with French literature in public transportation.
Located in the north end of the connecting tunnel between lines 14 and 9, the mosaic guides passengers through the Saint-Lazare transportation hub.
German workshop Franz Mayer created this glass mosaic reproduction of a photograph originally displayed at the Contemporary Art Museum of Montreal.
