Panache of colors on these street paving stones. What always surprises me is the color difference that can be found in all these granite pavers. He agrees that they don't come from the same career. There are about 6 different colors. I don't think this is really intentional to make the floor look nicer. And this because, if they had wanted to do it, they would have taken the trouble to make joints between the paving stones with more finesse and without gray concrete. Moreover, for the record, in France, the paving stones in the cities were covered with tar following the demonstrations of May 1968. The young demonstrators at the time dismantled the paving stones to throw them at the CRS. The CRS are groups of men equipped like soldiers with armor like knights who protect them everywhere. They are not there to discuss, they are hitting to disperse the demonstrators. It even happens and especially at the moment to cripple people for life with their weapons of war. I come back to May 1969, the paving stones at that time were placed on the ground on a bed of sand and what linked them to each other were sand joints on the 4 sides. The system is strong against crushing and pressure, but if only one paver was dismantled, the others would be dismantled without the slightest effort. After that, they covered the paving stones with tar or fixed them with ugly gray concrete. In France, strikes and demonstrations are a very recurring activity, and when I press very recurring, it is almost a pleonasm. In the meantime, the French are complainers who don't like to give in, and that's why, when the pressure of everyday life builds up a little too much, they go out into the streets to plead their discontent. As I write these lines, farmers are out in the cities with their tractors. Imagine for a minute that these people work 15 hours a day, feed the country with their production and sometimes earn 0 euros at the end of the month.
A sculpture that was placed on the ground with a multitude of other sculptures following it. It's almost like it's coming out of the ground.
