French artist JR’s immersive installation, “The Cave,” opens to the public on the Pont Neuf in Paris. The artwork is a large, cave-like space created through JR’s large-scale photographic style, drawing visitors into an enclosed interior experience as they pass through the bridge. Multiple outlets report that crowds queue to enter the installation shortly after it begins welcoming visitors. The project had faced delays after the installation’s canvas was damaged by strong winds on 2 June. Repairs are described as having neared completion just before the public opening this Monday, following the wind damage. The installation is open free of charge and around the clock, with coverage indicating it operates 24 hours a day. Euronews also notes that the installation remains available to the public until 28 June. The Pont Neuf—described as Paris’s oldest bridge—is presented as being transformed by the temporary artwork.
