Le Cri, l'Écrit, Bronze sculpture in Luxembourg Garden, Paris, France
The sculpture consists of three connected rings forming a chain, with one ring partially buried, another complete, and the top one deliberately broken.
Inaugurated on May 10, 2007, this bronze artwork by Fabrice Hyber stands 3.70 meters tall and addresses themes related to slavery and its abolition.
The sculpture combines dark surfaces with flat sides featuring red and green veins on white backgrounds, incorporating text elements about slavery in relief.
Located at coordinates 48.8461976, 2.3390678 in the 6th arrondissement, the sculpture includes an informative plaque explaining its meaning and historical context.
Each ring carries specific symbolism: roots at the bottom, ongoing possibility of slavery in the middle, and liberation through the broken top section.
