Funambule

Original text of Saint-Louis:
The tightrope walker moves with grace, perched on his wheel inside the crystal. A minuscule black thread rounded using a blowtorch stretches from one side to the other to support the acrobat. The hot crystal fuses the figure balancing on his wheel with his balancing pole, creating an object composed of microscopic black rods individually positioned by the master glassmaker. The extreme agility of this gesture conveys a dynamic, infinitely poetic spectacle.
