Having conducted a full LiDAR scan of the museum and its neo-classical building, Alice takes the main neo-classical saloon exhibition room of the Monnaie de Paris and remakes it into an allegory of Narcissus. With the building rendered transparent and ghostly through the use of LiDAR point cloud technology, the speculative architecture showcases the building looking back on itself, figured around a seated character and a mirrored chandelier. The work is an enquiry into neo-classical architectures of power and the use of ornament and architectural motif within the aesthetics of centralized monetary systems.
