In rectangular water basin there are 69 male figures in raisin and stainless steel, painted green. From 10 holes scattered through their bodies - eyes, nose, mouth, ears, nipples, penis and anus - they project splashes of water that strike their closest companions. The effect creates a constant bubbling noise of water and permanently vibrates its surface. (the water was switched off when we were there!).
A group of six of these green men stands since 1991 in the small village of Bessines, Dept. Deux-Sèvres, France.
