The dome of Galeries Lafayette turns into a rainbow

More than 110 years after its construction, the dome of Galeries Lafayette in Paris is transformed into a rainbow thanks to a film that diffracts natural light. The work To Breathe by korean artist Kimsooja is visible until June 30, 2023, from the 8th floor terrace, in the in-between dome (located on the 5th floor). It is also noticeable throughout the department store.
