apartment therapy changing the world, one room at a time

Created by Montreal native Michel de Broin, the work is entitled Revolutions. The sculpture, part of the municipal public art collection commissioned by the Ville de Montréal, was fabricated of aluminum for the Parc Maisonneuve-Cartier.

This work is inspired by the curved staircases which are so much a part of Montreal's identity. Here, the staircase twists into a knot, deconstructing the vertical symbolism normally attributed to stairs, and takes us through an infinite cycle of revolutions, where, from one transformation to the next, all that rises comes down again.
