"Logs In Transport" installation view taken at the L'usine
Artist: Christopher Casanova
Paris, France 2001
Dimensions: 5 feet(h) x 5 feet(w) x 9 feet(l)
Materials: Logs from storm fell trees and steel.
"Logs in Transport" was originally conceived of for an exhibition at a Centre Cultural in Saint Denis, named L'usine. The piece resided there for two months, and then was disassembled and moved to my studio at 5 rue Rollin in the 5th arrondisment of Paris. Resting there for two years, "Logs in Transport" was moved once again and was permanently installed in a public park on the Quai Andre Citroen along the river in the 15th Arrondisment, roughly where you would go to see the miniature Statue of Liberty that is on display on the Pont de Grenelle.

If you have ever driven in the mountains, in any country, you would have likely seen logging trucks transporting logs to the mill. These trucks and their payload were the inspiration for "Logs In Transport."
