A ‘Demolition Party’ is a party where they VIPs are invited to smash, wreck and generally annihilate anything left standing in the building: corridors, stairways, lobbies, rooms, etc.
Belgian designer and artist Arne Quinze created a temporary installation at the 5 star Parisian hotel Le Royal Monceau last month, before the hotel’s closure for a year with Philippe Starck designing the new interiors.
The installation called REBIRTH is a unique futuristic wooden sculpture, the hotel didn’t plan to go quietly giving an exclusive party.
The installation features 15 km of fluorescent red wood and 40 video screens to offer the public a mind-bowing and unique experience.
“REBIRTH reflects the transition moment in which the building’s DNA reveals its disorder, history and countless stories. It bursts out all it’s captured energy of the hotel’s last decades.
It is an organic fragmentation bomb that hangs still in the air, just for one moment, in perfect formation, before dissolving, disappearing and turning into a new, well-structured pattern again…”
