In his breathtaking Grotte Stellaire (Stellar Cave) installations, artist Julien Salaud uses fluorescent string to depict animals and abstract designs in glowing analog wire-frames. Salaud achieves the glowing effect by coating thread in ultraviolet paint and illuminating the installations in ultraviolet light. His installation Grotte Stellaire II (Stellar Cave II) reportedly took Salaud and 11 assistants 10 days to create. Some 18 miles of thread were used in the installation.
