La Maison dans la Loire, Installation artwork in Couëron, France.
The concrete house structure appears to sink into the Loire River, with closed shutters and tilted foundations that merge with the water's surface.
Created in 2007 for the Estuaire contemporary art exhibition, the installation was relocated to Couëron in 2012 due to river current concerns.
The installation represents Jean-Luc Courcoult's concept of imaginary realism, merging concrete structures with environmental elements to create thought-provoking art.
Visitors can observe the artwork from a designated viewing area on Quai Émile-Paraf, located 200 meters from the Tour à Plomb landmark.
The structure replicates an actual house from Port Lavau-sur-Loire, transformed into a permanent concrete installation partially submerged in the river.
