Installation artist Angela Bulloch aims to upset current systems, structures or rules.
Here, her work draws attention to the Manny building and connects it to its immediate environment. By copying British-style pedestrian crossings, with their famous Belisha Beacons (blinking yellow spheres that she reprograms to flash at a different rate) Bulloch redesigns public space across from the Manny building.
Nantes is transforming
Nantes has been getting a major makeover since 2024.
The city is currently undergoing extensive public works, particularly around Île de Nantes (Quai de la Fosse and the Pont Anne-de-Bretagne bridge). Tram Line 1 will be temporarily suspended from mid-June to late August 2026. The city centre and Parc des Chantiers – Machines de l’Île will remain accessible, thanks to replacement buses and to the pedestrian and cycling routes that will continue to be open. Park-and-ride facilities are available to drivers.
