This was a combined effort of Jean Rene and 400 volunteers. They used around 2000 paper-sticker sheets to set up the artwork over an area of 183,000 square feet. Once it was done, he invited people over to check it out via social media and the Museum got flooded with people to visit this amazing sight.

But it tears as people walk over. The more people walked over the more it got erased. This was part of the art as well. Jean Rene believed that an illusion should disappear faster than it appeared and that process was nothing but people simply passing over. He considered this art to be ephemeral and he dedicated this project to Agnès Varda. She was a very impressive director who was also an artist & photographer who worked with Jean Rene. They were close and sadly, she passed away in 2019 at 90 years old.
