this statue needs a waxing


Arriving at the Palais de Tokyo, the contemporary art museum of paris, I happened upon a group of graffiti artists who I imagine had been given an ok by the establishment to adorn one of the temporary construction walls with their artistic visions. Three guys completing their names in bubble letters with silver spray paint were surrounded by a dozen police officers that didn't seem to know what to do, or were unable to intervene. It seems they were looking for the culprit that ditched the wall and painted the stone sculptures instead, leaving a scene reminiscent of the anti-roman wall mural in Monty-Python's "Life of Brian".
