Condom installation points at AIDS awareness

Hürriyet Daily News

The artwork involves 80,000 condoms.

An installation by Irish artist Bryan McCormack titled the "Preservation of Life" seeks to raise AIDS awareness through an unusual but striking display of 80,000 condoms. 
 
The installation spans all six floors of the tunnel-like staircase at the Centre Pompidou in Paris and displayed tens of thousands of condoms pulled over cylinder-shaped light bulbs attached to the walls and ceilings of the structure. 



Colors on the walls change as visitors ascend from one floor to the next. The installation is accompanied by an audio that plays the heartbeat of an unborn baby on the first floor and McCormack's own heartbeat on the sixth floor.
