Jardin des Tuileries 23/09/2009 13h25
Proudly displayed in a circle surrounding the central fountain in the Jardin des Tuileries, these sculptures (there are 12 in total) are artist Ugo Rondinone's contribution to the Festival d'Automne that is being held throughout the city of Paris and France as well.
Titled Sunrise East, these unusual looking characters, being compared to totem-like figures, represent the twelve months of the year and serve as a metaphor for the cyclic nature of time.
Above statue is April.
Hugely popular with the thousands of people that seem to be in the gardens these days, everyone stops to have their picture taken next to their personal month.
