“Je me souviens” by Jean-Michel Folon, 2003
Giardino delle rose (Rose Garden)
Via Poggi
Florence, January 2018
“A permanent exhibition dedicated to the world-famous Belgian artist Jean Michel Folon is on display in the rose garden. Eleven statues (nine bronze sculptures and two plaster models) by the visionary artist adorn the walks of the garden, in perfect symbiosis with the surrounding environment. Je me souviens, a work of 2003, features a male figure sitting on a bench ready to converse with whomever happens to come and sit next to him.” (Following Folon in Florence’s Rose Garden, SlowItaly)
