ABOUT

Geneva Lux

Five giant, surprising and funny sculptures land in Geneva and turn the streets of the Old Town into a fabulous playground. The giant Anooki duo take over the urban space, playing with squares, buildings and monuments… Suddenly the city looks tiny. Streets, porches, columns and buildings squeeze up to make a little room for these cheerful visitors.

Each sculpture features the 2 characters, standing 6 metres tall. “Apparition” Cornavin station “Playtime” Place de la Madeleine “Escapade” Promenade de l’Observatoire “Kiss” Rue Henri-Fazy gate “Hide-and-seek” Saint-Pierre Cathedral

A poetic, funny and cheeky trail Strolling through the city, you catch the Anooki dropping in, dangling from the station roof. Later, you spot them playing hide-and-seek behind the cathedral columns. A few hundred metres further on, you stumble upon an adorable Inuit kiss on the Rue Henri-Fazy arch, a chase in front of the Museum and a cartwheel on Place de la Madeleine. Every encounter tells a different story.
