[1] Located on Place Augusta-Holmes, rue Paul Klee, near Gare d'Austerlitz in the 13th arrondissement, it was designed by French-Chinese sculptor Chen Zhen, who died in 2000, and was completed by his wife Xu Min in 2008.
[2] The fountain is designed to resemble a dragon winding its way around the square, emerging and submerging from the pavement.
Constructed of stainless steel,[3] glass and plastic, the dragon's transparent skin shows the water flowing within.
An opaque bas-relief dragon appears to emerge from the water-supply plant wall and plunge underground.
[4] The project was relaunched by the City of Paris in 2001 and finished by Xu Min, the sculptor's spouse and collaborator.
