What do you see in the photo? Where is it, what do you think the story is here?
Bruno Catalano is an artist who has created ten life-size sculptures of people along a waterfront in Marseille, France.
All of the sculptures have parts of their bodies missing, what do you think the sculptures represent?
What do you think the sculptures might be called?
They are called, "Les Voyageurs" - what do you think that means? (The travellers)
Bruno was born in Morocco and moved to France as a child.
These are the words Bruno is exploring through his sculptures:
Travel,
Migration,
Journey,
Home,
Belonging,
Loss.
World Citizen
Explore these words- what do they mean, how do you think Bruno is trying to represent those words in his work? Are there any other words that you can think of looking at these sculptures?
What do you notice abut the suitcase - it weighs them down but it is also the only means of support for the statue - why do you think Bruno dd this?
Bruno wanted people to see the sculptures in different ways; some figures appear to be fading away, others appear to be materialising in front of our eyes. Bruno says whenever he travelled to a new country, his travels left him feeling that a part of him was gone and would never return.
Bruno wants people to look at his work and, "examine their role as global citizens"
