Adhesive Bleeding Through Granite Countertop

Gabriela: 2-faceted city and Memory Collective



I think Paris is a city that hides another. In fact, I'm not French and when I think of the capital, I guess people who live there know of a Paris other than me. It's like the image of Paris which is often seen as the woman most sophisticated country when in reality, when it takes place in context, it loses all his humanity and more akin to an animal of its attitudes.

Collective memory if not universal in my opinion is very present in the symbol of the Eiffel Tower. Indeed, few people remember their history and they certainly can not imagine what it was like its neighbors during the Expo, however, the postcard is the most evocative of the city and France . Here memory is contemporary. You do not remember the Eiffel Tower in the 1900s but the current image of remembrance that we are building and exporting worldwide.
