在一个夏天，Le Banc de neige重现了魁北克冬季风暴留下的神奇雪堆。这个短暂的装置既是一个平台，也是一个公共长椅，它通过允许大量的挪用来改变使用者与公共空间的关系。在波尔多广场的树干和路灯周围披上了一层白色的光辉，它放大了这些日常元素，同时也为壁球馆提供了座位平台。这些多重基地由一系列地形轮廓产生，暗指建筑表现。路人被邀请在圣保罗街的城市景观中定居和休息，而最具冒险精神的人则会爬上雪堆，躲在茂密的树叶中，躲避街道。
For a summer, Le Banc de neige recreates the magical snowbanks left over from Quebec’s winter storms. At once a platform and a public bench, the ephemeral installation modifies the user’s relation to the public space by allowing a multitude of appropriations. As it drapes around the tree trunks and street lamps of the Place de Bordeaux with a luminous white, it magnifies these elements of the everyday while providing seating platforms for the pétanque court. These multiple bases are generated by a series of topographical contours alluding to architectural representation. Passers-by are invited to settle in and take break by contemplating the urban landscape of St-Paul Street, while the most adventurous will climb the snowbank to hide in the dense foliage of trees, sheltered from the street.
该项目是由魁北克市街头艺术节Passages Insolites委托建造的。它是位于历史中心的十几个艺术装置之一。此外，它被认为是一个公共基础设施，以展示诱人的城市设计的潜力。Le Banc de neige是由薄薄的油漆胶合板弯曲而成，以获得摇摆不定的挤压。它的建造时间为2016年夏天。
The project was built commissioned by Quebec City street art festival Passages Insolites. It was one a dozen art installations in the heart of the historic center. Moreover, it was conceived to be a public infrastructure to display the potential of inviting urban design. Le Banc de neige is made from thin painted plywood curved to obtain the wavering extrusions. It was built to last for the summer of 2016.
