Vincent Leroy continues to invest in the urban space with his latest project Ghost Halo. Suspended in an unassuming London street, a giant halo composed of 120 acrylic transparent tubes levitate above the ground, undulating and slowly deforming under the eyes of passers-by into an enigmatic and ghostly volute.

Slightly twisted and suspended from a rotating structure, the kinetic ring slowly moves dramatically — sometimes visible, sometimes imperceptible — where the transparent rods float in the air, cross each other and overlap with the background. Both graphic and abstract, the ghostly installation transforms the street into a surreal setting that will transport viewers into a dreamlike and poetic dimension.
Ghost Halo joins a list of alluring urban sculptures, including the Illusion Lens in Tokyo and an ethereal design the French artist proposed for the vast beaches of Iceland.
Elsewhere in art, KAWS releases the long-awaited ‘KACHAMUKKU’ vinyl toys.
