Philippe Ramette's Éloge de la transgression, Graslin, Nantes, Loire-Atlantique (44)

In the Cours Cambronne, near the statue of the general of the same name, is a modern statue of a schoolgirl clambering onto a statue base – or is she climbing down, and in any case what kind of comment is she making in terms of the very proud and pompous statue of Général Cambronne, if any? This, of course, is the whole purpose of art – not so much to look pretty as to question realities, or givens which pose as realities.
