In May 2018, Varini's project "Concentric, eccentric" saw large yellow concentric circles mounted on the monument at Carcassonne as part of the 7th edition of "IN SITU, Heritage and contemporary art", a summer event in the Occitanie / Pyrenees-Mediterranean region focusing on the relationship between modern art and architectural heritage.
This monumental work was to celebrate the 20th anniversary of Carcassonne's inscription on the World Heritage List of UNESCO.
Exceptional in its size and its visibility and use of architectural space, the exhibit extended on the western front of the fortifications of the City.
The work could only be fully perceived in front of the Porte d'Aude at the pedestrian route from the Bastide.
The circles of yellow colour consist of thin, painted aluminium sheets, spread like waves of time and space, fragmenting and recomposing the geometry of the circles on the towers and curtain walls of the fortifications.
The work remained visible from May to September 2018 only.
