Searching for Utopia

“Searching for Utopia” by Jan Fabre, 2003
Piazza della Signoria
Florence, May 2016

“The monumental sculpture ‘Searching for Utopia,’ Fabre's self-portrait riding a giant golden turtle (a symbol common to many religions) was recently installed on Piazza della Signoria, next to the equestrian statue of Granduca Cosimo I, a Renaissance masterpiece by Giambologna. It has already become a favorite among tourists with selfie sticks.” (Jan Fabre’s Art Conquers Florence With Bronze Turtle, BlouinArtinfo)
