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 is changing to become an even more ecological, inclusive, and dynamic city. To do this, new public works will reinforce our already existing ecofriendly modes of transport: new tram lines, green zones for pedestrians and cyclists, and more. From 2024, these major urban projects will disrupt traffic around Les Machines de l’Île and Parc des Chantiers, with the Pont Anne-de-Bretagne bridge closed off to cars (the bridge will remain accessible to pedestrians and cyclists). Solutions will be offered throughout construction to make it easier for everyone to get around, like: increased frequency of several public transport lines, more Naolib bike-share bicycles, and more parking spots in park-and-ride lots.
