Maison Margiela has unveiled an 11-monitor video installation of Nude descending a Staircase No. 3 by London-based artist Marco Brambilla at their Crosby Street store in Soho, New York.

Brambilla’s artwork is a contemporary digital rendition of Marcel Duchamp’s 1912 Nude Descending a Staircase, No. 2. The artist has evolved the original painting into a moving panorama, complete with background piano score and various three-dimensional animated figures cascading down never ending, invisible stairs.

Last December, Maison Margiela projected Nude Descending a Staircase No.3 on the exterior of its future flagship store in the Miami Design District, planned to open its doors this summer.

Since its opening, the Maison Margiela concept store in SoHo has featured a multitude of independent works by contemporary artists. This installation by Marco Brambilla inaugurates a new series of artist work expected in the upcoming months.

The installation will be on view to the public at the Maison Margiela store from Wednesday May 5th until Tuesday July 6th, 2021.
