"In 2000 Sosno started to work on “Tête carrée” (The Square Head), a 26-meter high monumental sculpture - the Central Library in Nice with architects Yves Bayard and Francis Chapuis, financed by the Ministry of Culture, the Regional Council, the County Council and the City of Nice. One year later the installation of the aluminium structure began. In 2002 the first monumental inhabited sculpture in the world, the first construction entirely in aluminium, the first building shaped and raised thanks to naval techniques was finished."
