“Almost a counter to this study of the tourist’s casual gaze is Pilier Sud, 2005, a full-scale model in white foamcore of a lower section of the Eiffel Tower. It is a detail made monumental, a highly specific rendering of something that must have been photographed millions of times but is rarely examined so intently.”
