EDITORS COMMENTS
In this and thought-provoking photo print, we are transported to a Paris engulfed in chaos and fear as the colossal figure of Giant Gargantua strides through its streets. The sheer magnitude of his presence is enough to sow panic and destruction in his wake, leaving no corner untouched by his immense power. As our eyes wander towards the background, we notice the distinguished towers of Cathedrale Notre Dame de Paris standing tall against the tumultuous scene. Little do we know that these iconic structures will soon become victims of Giant Gargantua's newfound ability - spitting. With a single act, he unleashes a torrential downpour from above, drowning more than 3000 unsuspecting Parisians. The illustration by Albert Robida captures both the awe-inspiring spectacle and the impending tragedy with remarkable detail and skill. His artistic interpretation brings to life an episode from Francois Rabelais' Fourth Livre, immersing us in a world where giants roam freely amidst humanity's most cherished landmarks. This image serves as a reminder of the delicate balance between human achievement and nature's unforgiving forces. It prompts us to reflect on our vulnerability in the face of such overwhelming might while also questioning our own capacity for destruction. Through Patrice Cartier's lens, this print becomes not just an artwork but also a catalyst for contemplation – urging us to appreciate what we have built while recognizing its fragility when confronted with forces beyond our control.
