The Jeu de Paume Museum is located in the oldest and most significant park [Jardin des Tuileries] in central Paris. It was commissioned in 1564 by Katharina von Medici. It was also in this year that construction work began on Katharina von Medici's Palais des Tuileries [Brick Palace], the old royal and imperial seat. The castle was the royal residence of numerous princes until it was destroyed by fire in May 1871. The ruin was demolished in 1882. A small portion of the remains of the castle was, however, transported to Schwanenwerder Island in western Berlin. A particle of patina was taken from the remains of the castle, a 'column' of the castle ruin. In the "AUGADORO" [Eye's Door] media installation, the particle of patina from the destroyed Palais des Tuileries was the "objet trouvé". The insight into "the column's" colourful microcosm, its patina, enables, "the column" to become a symbol of past, present and future. Modern technology is used to create and delate living history. Nature and culture meet in their original environment -  the oldest park in central Paris.
