Cible Art: A Truly Unique Experience
Many of her counterpartshave disappeared; just think—after 200 years of setting up and taking downvillage carnival booths, made of flimsy wood and a few pieces of fabric, they havebeen lost.
Sometimes they were princes,sometimes bears, sometimes clowns—and, like her, sometimes ballerinas.
You can still make out herfeatures, originally painted on the cut-out sheet metal, securely attached to awooden support of the same silhouette. Her pockmarked face bears witnessto the poor aim of the hundreds of shooters who missed their targets….
No wonder—the shots were fired from nearly a meter away from the target, after all…
I can still hear thesqueak of the carnival worker’s footsteps as he dodged the small lead pellets, all the whileprotecting himself as best he could from the shards of clay that eventuallyformed a carpet on the floor.
By chance, she foundher set of targets shaped like little dogs… This necklace of clay pellets restoresher former panache. ... She can taunt you all over again...
