Have you ever wondered what the world looks like from above? It’s a thought that many have had, and one that Anish Kapoor, the renowned artist, wanted to capture in all its glory. That’s what lies behind the Sky Mirror, a large circular disc made of polished steel weighing 10 tonnes. It’s located right here, in front of the Casino de Monte-Carlo, its surface reflecting the sky, fountain, and even the iconic casino itself. This massive disc is almost like a window into the heavens. The sun, a brilliant orb of light, dances on the surface of the Sky Mirror. It makes the surrounding buildings appear much taller than they really are, all of a sudden you find yourself surrounded by skyscrapers. In the shimmering brilliance of the mirror, the world is turned upside down, a dazzling reflection of the sky and the world below. The Sky Mirror is a perfect representation of the work of Anish Kapoor. He is known for using different materials to create interesting and engaging shapes, and this sculpture certainly embodies that. From its place of honor in front of the casino, the Sky Mirror has become one of the iconic symbols of Monte-Carlo, a testament to the power of art to reflect and transform the world around us.
