Tiny Planets

A Tiny Planet is a surreal concept that represents my experimental process pushing the medium towards new directions.
By revealing the hidden landmark of any landscape.
Something captivating, as when looked at it closely you will find that it is expressing a whole new Microverse.
A concept of a fragile planet, floating like a bubble in isolation to protect its valuable ecosystem.

I wish I were there

Faithful companion of the South side facade of Notre-Dame, this very simple street light is forever king of its planet. 2019 © ChristianKleiman.com ➡️ ARTWORK INFO
Steel
The art of caging a 300 meter tower. Eiffel Tower at the background looks like caged inside the massive steel beams of this bridge. Both metallic structures, the Eiffel Tower and Debilly's Bridge were constructed for the same purpose; The Exposition Universelle de Paris. They were also meant to be dismantled after the Expo, but here they are, wearing under the sky of Paris.  2016 © ChristianKleiman.com ➡️ ARTWORK INFO

La Flèche Perdue
The first Spire was constructed in 1230 and lasted until it was dismantled in 1792. The second Spire was unveiled in 1859 and lasted until the fire of 2019. The third Spire is planned to be finished in 2024.  2019 © ChristianKleiman.com ➡️ ARTWORK INFO

Red-Copper Bridge
Although very short and discreet, the Pont-au-double is not only one of the busiest Parisian bridges, directly connecting the "Quartier Latin" to the "Parvis-Notre-Dame", but it is also the only one exhibiting a copper-red railing that makes it unique. 2019 © ChristianKleiman.com ➡️ ARTWORK INFO

Tribute
Notre-Dame is no longer up to its past after the terrible fire it suffered in April 2019. Let's take that feeling as an impulse to move forward and a motivation to learn, question, and therefore, grow. 2019 © ChristianKleiman.com ➡️ ARTWORK INFO
Seine River’s Blue Whale
The Blue Whale project was created to raise public awareness of the protection of species. It was located at the Port of Gros Caillou, and open to the public from November to December of 2015.  2016 © ChristianKleiman.com ➡️ ARTWORK INFO
Siege of Paris
It sounds incredible that 1175 years ago this site was occupied by 120 Viking ships carrying thousands of men in order to invade France. Nowadays the flow of the river brings along tourists on board the Bateaux-mouches which are captivated by the "Ile de la Cité" history. 2019 © ChristianKleiman.com ➡️ ARTWORK INFO

Crowning La Seine
Even before its construction was completed, the tower was already in the eye of the storm of social debates. She was severely ridiculed by the critics of famous names in the World of Arts and Letters. But the impossible came true and the tower, with its almost 131 years old, has taken roots. 2016 © ChristianKleiman.com ➡️ ARTWORK INFO

Scène sur Seine
The Statue of Liberty also brings to mind the torch-lady of Columbia Pictures. The skyscrapers in the background and a cloudless sky crossed by a ray of frontal light. The show must go on! 2015 © ChristianKleiman.com ➡️ ARTWORK INFO
Glacies Lacus
As a witness of the last glacial period about 10,000 years ago, glacial lakes were formed when glaciers began to retreat. 2018 © ChristianKleiman.com ➡️ ARTWORK INFO
Thrill
In the past, I’ve had many exciting experiences with different types of boats and nautical activities. But gliding on the surface of the Shotover River at full speed, bordering the rocks of the canyons at less than 20cm is the major of all. This is the most! And a must-do, if you get the chance to visit Queenstown. 2018 © ChristianKleiman.com ➡️ ARTWORK INFO
