The Weight of Oneself Quai Romain Rolland Passerelle du Palais de justice - 69005 Lyon 5ème

This representation of a standing man carrying another man, inanimate, in his arms, as if saved from drowning, is disturbing. The faces of the two characters turn out to be identical. The man wears his double, thus becoming his own savior but also his own burden!
