With À la Lumière des Deux Mondes (At the Light of Both Worlds, 2005), a site - specific work created for the Louvre's glass pyramid — the first time a contemporary artist had exhibited in the institution — Tunga used one of the building's columns as a pivot on which various symbolically charged objects were balanced: gold and black skulls and a
giant walking stick intertwined with
braided hair on one
side; a chain of skulls caught in a dark net falling towards a floor littered with golden and black reproductions of heads from the Louvre's classical sculptures on the other.
