Down to earth, Bobby!


In Down to earth, Bobby! different police related bronze sculptures were buried in the ground, returning them back to its element, around Panier, a neighbourhood that was once one of the most violent ones of Marseille.
The work strongly references the Queen Amanirenas of Kush, the one eyed queen that got forgotten by history and as an act of disgrace to Augustus Caesar buried his bust in the stairs of a palace for people to walk over. 
In the work a plaque was placed on a street wall for pedestrians to know and understand the act they are participating in.
Down to earth, Bobby! wants to directly talk to Bobby; Bobby refers to a British way to call a policeman, England is the place where modern policing was born and by doing so wants to address that original sin.
