Les Extraordinaires Mésaventures de la Jeune Fille de Pierre
Gabriel Abrantes
Sometimes I wish I was someone else. A brawny bronze Hercules. Aphrodite stepping out of the bath. A stout little Hammurabi. Or a powerful goddess like you. But no. I’m just a refreshingly banal ornamental sculpture.
Tired of being a banal architectural ornament, a sculpture runs away from the Louvre to confront real life on the streets of Paris.
