Project

ZINQ Lyon is proud to have contributed to the creation of „Cryptide“, a monumental artwork by the artist Charlotte Charbonnel, installed on the art trail „Les Balcons de l'Abbaye“ in Savigny on the initiative of the community of communes „Communauté de communes du Pays de L'Arbresle“ (CCPA) as part of the „Les Murmures du temps“ event.

As part of the „Les Murmures du temps“ art and culture trail, this sculpture, which stands over 5 metres tall and was conceived as a fossil creature emerging from the past, was galvanised with duroZINQ by our teams at the ZINQ Lyon site to ensure its longevity and weather resistance.

Bridging art and science, „Cryptide“ combines the world of minerals, the geological memory of the site and industrial know-how. A successful fusion of contemporary artistic creation and sustainable steel protection.
