Miami Art Week 2012 saw Perrier Sparkling Natural Mineral Water dominate the art deco panorama of Miami South Beach with a “Godzilla-sized” black dog installation by contemporary artist Desi Santiago.

Perrier® Presents The Black Lords by Desi Santiago—A BOFFO Project at Lords South Beach engulfed the hotel becoming the largest-scale project in Santiago’s career—marking a certain “moment” in his fast rising status—and our SociétéPerrier.com cameras captured it all unfold.

Shot over eight days via four different cameras and angles—from sunrise to sunset—Perrier recorded the evolution of the space as it transforms from hotel to hound.

Société Perrier also speaks with Santiago about his eye-catching project, which metamorphosizes the Lords South Beach hotel, into a gargantuan, interactive, fortune-telling canine based upon his dog ‘Gypsy’, fit with menacing paws and a whipping tail.

Perrier® Presents: The Black Lords at Lords South Beach will be open daily from December 3—December 9, 11am to 2am at Lords South Beach located at 1120 Collins Avenue (at 11th Street) in Miami Beach, Florida.
