"For me, one of the most important aspects when designing a project is addressing the public but also the specific place, making it resonate in a new way and elevating it beyond everyday experience."
Designed for the Christie’s building itself in Paris, 'Le Fil Rouge' is the result of a reflection on connection, transmission, and dialogue with history. The artist Stéphane Thidet chose to incorporate a specially braided textile thread created for the occasion, which 'sews' the balconies of the façade at the intersection of Avenue Matignon and Rue de Ponthieu.
Through this gesture, both simple and full of meaning, he explores the relationship between architecture, urban movement, and memory.
'Le Fil Rouge' accompanies the exhibitions of 20th and 21st-century art sales at 9 Avenue Matignon and will be visible until January 2026.
