Peace in the Park: Paris

Paris Wall for Peace

The Wall for Peace,
Clara Halter and Jean-Michel Wilmotte. Paris, 2000.
Wall for Peace

The Eiffel Tower, an unmistakable Parisian landmark, is the background for this location photo of Clara Halter’s calligraphy on the transparent Wall for Peace. The Peace Park is located on the Champs de Mars. Clara joined creative forces with architect Jean-Michel Wilmotte to design the Wall for Peace.  The repetition of one word, peace, in multiple languages serves as a visual harmony of a universal dream.
