Anamorphosis: the centre of the yellow bull's eye into the fortress. Carcassonne, “Cité de Carcassonne”, Aude, Occitanie, France.
The Felice Varini Concentric Yellow Circles art installation really worked and we could see how the aluminium strips were peeling harmlessly off the walls. To the Telegraph, Daily Mail and other frothing at the mouth objectors (many of whom probably were deluded enough to vote for brexit) I would say "Grow up, no damage done, this was visually impressive and remember Carcassonne was rebuilt in the 1800s".
Carcassonne (Occitan: Carcassona : Latin: Carcaso) is a French fortified city in the department of Aude, in the region of Occitanie. A prefecture, it has a population of about 50,000. Inhabited since the Neolithic period, Carcassonne is located in the Aude plain between historic trade routes, linking the Atlantic to the Mediterranean sea and the Massif Central to the Pyrénées. Its strategic importance was quickly recognized by the Romans, who occupied its hilltop until the demise of the Western Roman Empire. In the fifth century, it was taken over by the Visigoths, who founded the city. Its strategic location led successive rulers to expand its fortifications until the Treaty of the Pyrenees in 1659. Carcassonne is the largest walled city in Europe (among those that have their defensive wall still intact). Its citadel known as the Cité de Carcassonne, is a medieval fortress dating back to the Gallo-Roman period, and was restored by the theorist and architect Eugène Viollet-le-Duc in 1853. The Basilica of Saints Nazarius and Celsus (French: Basilique des Saints Nazaire et Celse) is a Roman Catholic minor basilica located in the citadel of Carcassonne, France. It is a national monument, and is in the Gothic-Romanesque architectural tradition. It has been added to the UNESCO list of World Heritage Sites in 1997. Consequently, Carcassonne relies heavily on tourism but also counts manufacture and wine-making as some of its other key economic sectors. en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Carcassonne
