THE AIDS MEMORIAL SCULPTURE IN PARIS
The AIDS MEMORIAL SCULPTURE in Paris is located along the Seine, the main
river that winds its way through the city. The memorial is particularly
becoming in this area, as it is flanked by other monuments, most noticeably
the Eiffel Tower. Nevertheless, this site is about a five minute walk away
from this major tourist attraction, and therefore does not receive the
masses of tourists that visit the famous tower. Only those residents of
the city and those visitors who are a little more leisurely and not too
hurried, those who can enjoy a nice walk along this river visit the AIDS
Memorial Sculpture. It is very fitting that the Sculpture be next to the
river: as friends and relatives come and go we find solace in nature and
its perennial cycle. This area is easily accessible by foot, car or subway
and has benches along the riverside.
You too might enjoy coming here. This might be the place to live through
intense moments of joy, love, anger, pain, sorrow, mourning and again joy
and love...
This sculpture only exists in my dreams and in virtual reality... but
anything is possible... and maybe you can help make the sculpture become
a reality! or
