Wall of love in Paris
Wall of love in the center of the garden Abbesses in Montmartre, Paris, is a 40-square meters with 612 tiles. The phrase “I love You” written here thousands of times in dozens of different languages. The wall was created by two artists — Frederic Baron and Claire Kito — as a rendezvous spot for lovers and eternal monument to the renewed adoration. The phrases were collected by Frederick Baron in the Internet, he knocked on the doors of embassies and asking their neighbors until he had more than 300 expressions of strong feelings of love in different languages. He then asked Claire Kito, an artist and specialist of Oriental calligraphy that she collected the original.
Here is what Frederic Baron: “the bursts of color on the fresco represent the pieces of a broken heart, the hearts of mankind, so often rozloucenou and that wall of love trying to piece together.”
