Ernesto Neto Crochets an Enormous Snake to Slither Inside Le Bon Marché — Colossal

Ernesto Neto, a Brazilian artist known for his crocheted installations, is currently showcasing his latest project at Le Bon Marché Rive Gauche in Paris. Titled “Le La Serpent,” the exhibition features a 28-foot snake coiling up through the atrium, drawing inspiration from the creation myth of Adam, Eve, and the serpent.

Rather than interpreting the story from a perspective of sin, Neto sees the serpent as a life-giving force that transcends traditional narratives. By incorporating both male and female elements, the artist positions the snake as a symbol of joy and spirituality that can bridge the gap between the mind and body. Various cultures, from Mesoamerica to Cambodian mythology to ancient Greece, have revered the serpent as a deity, giving it a universal significance beyond Western beliefs.

In a departure from his usual vibrant color palette, Neto uses white yarn for this installation as a tribute to Aristide and Marguerite Boucicaut, the founders of Le Bon Marché who promoted the use of white in artworks during the 19th century.

Visitors to the exhibition are invited to experience a collaborative and meditative space on the second floor. A specially composed song fills the room as a large tee stands at the center, filled with dried leaves, turmeric, and cumin to create an earthy, spiced aroma. The walls are designed as chalkboards, allowing visitors to draw and leave notes for others to see.

Neto’s intention with this project is to remind people of their physical presence and the importance of reconnecting with their own essence. By incorporating scents that trigger memories, the artist aims to create an immersive experience that engages all the senses.

“Le La Serpent” will be on display at Le Bon Marché Rive Gauche until February 22. Visitors can explore the intricate crocheted installations, participate in the interactive elements of the exhibition, and immerse themselves in Neto’s unique artistic vision.
