Man and the moon
Thursday, December 30, 2010 Publié par Eric Tenin
I found this sculpture in the 10th arrondissement at the beginning of rue du Faubourg Saint Denis, and since I did not really like the surroundings (too busy!), I managed to find a little trick to help you concentrate on them: Cool effect isn't it?! FYI, the man on the left is called "The man who carried the moon" but I don't know what the sculpture of the woman is called (maybe "The woman who carried the Earth"?). Apparently ,the artist who made these sculptures is Turk and his name is Cem Sagbil.

Very cool, Eric! I feel like a spy, though I don't know if I'll get any action from these subjects.

Or the woman who carried the sun. Yeah, that works -- for fading out the surroundings. Plus, it works with your title. Happy holidays in the Alps!

I like them! I also like their faces—am thinking there are a man and a woman walking around somewhere (Paris or Turkey, I guess) with these exact visages.

What's not to like about the surroundings? It's PARIS!!! I'll take it anyway I can get it. Even a trash can in a flood. ;)

Makes me think of a Harry Connick Jr. song..."The man in the moon was smiling cuz he's in love with the girl in the world". Not totally accurate, I realize, but that's what it reminds me of! :)

What is the story of the face on the side of the tall building in the background?!
