A fountain in the bassin du commerce
To celebrate its 500th birthday, Le Havre extended a surprising invitation to internationally renowned artists and events. For this huge party, ‘A Summer in Le Havre 2017’, a temporary work by artist Stéphane Thidet was staged in the Bassin du Commerce. This piece, entitled ‘Impact’, materialised with the meeting of two powerful jets of water, creating an arching bridge between the two quays. These two streams intermittently intersected, disturbing the calm waters. The artist turned to Crystal Group’s expertise in fountains and hydraulic effects.
