Consigne à vie, Bronze sculpture at Saint-Lazare Station, Paris, France
The black bronze sculpture features a collection of suitcases and travel bags stacked together, reaching a height of six meters.
Created by artist Arman in 1985, this sculpture was commissioned by the French government as part of a public art initiative for train stations.
The sculpture represents the relationship between travelers and their belongings, reflecting on the anonymity of modern transit through identical luggage.
Located in front of Saint-Lazare Station, the sculpture functions as a meeting point for travelers and pedestrians in the Cour de Rome.
The sculpture underwent a complete restoration in 2014 by Atelier Bocquel, the same foundry that created the original cast in 1985.
