Replicating Nostalgia

I’ve found my own Wild Things!! These guys are in Le Jardin des Tuileries which is a long stretch of lawn in between the Louvre and Place de la Concorde (where Louis XVI and Marie Antoinette were executed) which marks the beginning of the Champs-Elysees. 

There are various pieces of artwork scattered throughout the walkway/garden including this exhibit surrounding one of the fountains.

These totem-like statues were made by Ugo Rondinone and each face represents a month of the year.  He wanted to show the month’s personalities in a surreal way like that of child’s dreams – Sp anyone?

I LOVE how these straddle between being somewhat creepy and disturbing , but at the same time touch that cute button in your nerves that triggers a smile…there is a hint of Tim Burton in Rondinone’s style…Of course my fav is November (Feb a close 2nd and Oct 3rd).

This is the best I can do until I get to see the real W.T. WHICH, WHICH I found out is being released here mid-Dec!!!! oh my gosh, oh my gosh, oh my gosh!  I will be first in line, understanding the film or not :)
