le Vieil Indien
from 0 €
Walking back from the Reformed Church towards the Palais Longchamp, Wenceslas came across this painted mark on the ground again. He had photographed it for the first time and exhibited it in June 2022 at Espace Jouenne, on Rue Montgrand in Marseille, under the title "An Indian in the City" (NFT 0052). Two years later, this mark became "An Indian in Marseille," its emaciated silhouette being the subject of a new snapshot, exhibited in Paris at the end of October 2024 (NFT 0172). Several months later, Wenceslas found the same silhouette again by chance, bent over with age, hence its title "The Old Indian," and marked with red spray paint by a tag signifying its impending disappearance due to the installation of fiber optic cables at the corner of Boulevard Longchamp and Rue Grobet in Marseille. Dimensions: 28.5 cm x 38.5 cm (frame 40 cm x 50 cm) - Marseille - 22. 01. 2025
