Stuck on the eleven stages facade using a nacelle, the figures came to dress the prefabricated concrete slabs of the dilapidated building, forming a monumental fresco.
The facade molding seems to have been designed to receive these giant photos.

It was one of the stages of the artistic project “he will once be the suettaz”, carried by the city to accompany the urban transition from the neighborhood. A big party will take place on Saturday May 10.
