Rémy Callot was born in 1926 in Oignie into a working-class family. At the age of fourteen his forearm was blown away by a grenade he was playing with. He became interested in ceramics, travelled around the world immersing himself in different cultures and learned to speak Chinese. In 1966 he bought a property in Carvin, with a concrete exterior surrounding the house. On retirement in the late 1980s he began work on the exterior with these mosaics. He died in 2001 and his property went to seed. The town hall bought the property in 2006, collecting as many objects as it could before necessarily destroying it.
