The Louvre's massive glass pyramid, designed by Chinese architect I.M. Pei and installed in 1988, has disappeared. In its stead, a shard of the famous Paris art museum has been drained of color, as if the translucent panes have become some sort of living Instagram filter. What's actually going on is that French artist JR, known for dramatic large-scale art, clever optical illusions, and an eagle eye for social issues, has covered the structure with anamorphically exact renditions of the 16th century facades beyond, complete with a tiny French flag sticking out the top.
