Unusual invisible statues can be noticed on the streets of French Marseille. And it is possible and just pass by, consider what it seemed. At the nontrivial, alone themselves are sufficiently elegant and thin, there are no significant parts of the bodies, which creates the effect of weightlessness. Perhaps sculptures depict travelers.
They keep suitcases, cales, bags and go away somewhere. According to a fifty-three-year-old French sculptor, Bruno rolled, created by them sculptures, are the inhabitants of modern cities.
"We have a lot of losing weight throughout our life, and every person has irrevocably lost moments that no longer return," says Bruno.
Such sculptures have quite human quality - change in meetings with the environment, filling with one way or another. So, some of the "guards" are located in large shopping centers and on the streets of Paris and look quite differently rather than in the context of the museum.
The sculptor was born in 1960 and from the young age was interested in art and sculpture in particular. Nevertheless, he declared himself only in the early 1990s. Thanks to his own bright style, Catalano almost immediately became known.

Or maybe the location of the trip affects us so much that through us, both through the sculptures of Catalano, local landscapes are viewed. Or is it just a hint of the artist on the fact that modern dynamic, always somewhere in a hurrying people - only represent that legs, head and suitcase, without integrity inside, without the feeling of the inner home, as was the ever?
The more interesting to watch his works, "Watching the types of travelers over modern life, inventing the types of travelers (rapid yurt tourists, slow observers, household details, or amateurs, not particularly exit the walls of the hotel ... Mentally listed their friends, you can already Dial a lot of material for classification). Are we so empty inside? What is this emptiness - willingness to a new or lack of straightened and damage?
