The Grand Palais's reopening is marked by Paola Pivi's striking inflatable ladder, a central piece of the exhibition 'Euphoria: Art is in the Air.' This towering, playful installation not only captivates viewers but challenges traditional notions of utility and artistic interpretation. At over 20 meters tall, the ladder's absence of rungs symbolizes a journey of thought rather than a physical climb, merging absurdity with art. Pivi's approach transcends simple sculpture, prompting reflections on perception, memory, and emotional elevation, making this event a celebration of creativity rather than mere ceremony.
Pivi isn't asking viewers to scale this ladder physically. She's encouraging a different kind of elevation—one of thought, emotion, and imagination.
Pivi transforms a common ladder into a work of abstract poetry, creating something paradoxical: familiar yet fantastical, recognizable yet reimagined.
