A simple steel string wasn’t enough to suspend the world’s largest disco ball into the sky; it had to be a construction crane that pulled 1000 mirrors up to a height of 50 meters.
The so called ‘La Maîtresse de la Tour Eiffel’ was built by French conceptual artist Michel de Broin for the Nuit Blanche Event in Paris.
When the luminous disco bubble with a diameter of 7,5 was hit with spotlights from all over the city it shot rays of light across le Jardin du Luxembourg and created a sort of starry night fairytale.
Watch the largest mirror ball ever at work:
