Mogart's Mansion on the Nile
Mogart's character is a French art dealer with homes
all over the world, but he is especially attached to
gypt, with a magnificent colonial house on the Nile.
His collection sprawls through the entire property
inside and outside in the gardens. Because one of the
scenes takes place outside, with a big confrontation
between MarcMoon night and Mogart. It was
necessary to have a sarcophagus and artifacts in
the garden. Considering that sarcophagi are very
delicate and would not be believable just sitting out
in the garden, I designed a small version of the glass
pyramid outside the Louvre. I did research on how art
could be protected from the atmospher and, if well
ventilated, glass is a perfect material for exposition
and protection. The Egyptian pavilion at the Met is
a proof of that. So I designed two small pyramids of
glass. I tweaked the structure adding a door covered
in gold to express the extravagant taste of Mogart.
