He also designed this work using a computer and commissioned Inoxi France, a company based in Roubaix, to produce it.
Inaugurated in 1989 by President François Mitterrand, this 12-meter-long and 7-meter-high sculpture is constructed from 3,000 stainless steel elements weighing a total of 10 tons.
Locals often call this work "The Snake," and the square where it stands, the "Snake Roundabout," has become a significant geographical landmark in Lille.
