« L’Anneau, created by Ivanhoe Cambridge and Claude Cormier, is an artistic and architectural work emblematic of the city of Montreal!
« Claude Cormier, renowned Canadian Landscape Architect, designed « L’Anneau » in 2018 to celebrate the 375th anniversary of the city of Montreal. The work is located in the Quartier des Spectacles, a lively area of downtown dedicated to culture and events.
« L’Anneau » is a spectacular public installation made up of 21,000 multicolored steel rings. These rings intertwine to form a giant ribbon-like structure that rises into the air over a length of around 180 meters.
The work offers a striking visual experience, playing with light and color. By day, the rings reflect natural light, creating a dazzling spectacle, while by night, integrated LED lights illuminate the installation, giving it a fairytale-like ambience. »
« L’Anneau » is Montreal’s new tourist symbol, attracting residents and tourists alike to admire and photograph its unique aesthetic and artistic ingenuity. It symbolizes innovation, creativity and the union between its residents, the immediate environment and the mountain.
Artist-photographer and photographer
« The Ring » is the new tourist symbol for Montreal, attracting residents and tourists alike to admire and photograph its unique aesthetic and artistic ingenuity.
As an artist photographer with a background in the tourism industry, I believe deeply in this emblematic symbol of the city of Montreal.
From its original name; « L’Anneau », it becomes through my photographic creation « L’Anneau-Phareau », which represents the memory of the late Claude Cormier, designer of this artistic installation.
This photo was captured by me on April 23, 2023, two days before Tourisme Montréal presented Ivanhoe Cambridge and Claude Cormier with the Distinction awards.
Mr. Cormier leaves a heritage legacy that shines like a beacon every time people from all over the world take « hallowed » photos. L’Anneau-Phare, this tourist symbol showcasing the city of Montreal, is an eternal light that will stand the test of time and continue to illuminate the decades!
