It is the story of a golfer who no longer has a ball to play. A Caen (Calvados) since October 2021, several statues inspired by the famous To discuss from the Belgian designer Geluck, are arranged on the Place de la République. They take part in an open-air exhibition which also takes place on the quai Vendeuvre, on the esplanade of the Hôtel de Ville and at the Memorial.
A precautionary withdrawal
The fact remains that since the end of November, the statue “The Golfer” has been deprived of its ball. A bullet that was from elsewhere stuck in a bird’s beak. The town hall of Caen is reassuring on the reason for such an absence: “It is not in any way an act of vandalism. “
During the trips and after several weeks of exposure in Caen, the tiger which supported the bird and its ball was considered too fragile. “As a precaution, this part has therefore been withdrawn. “
To understand sculpture, however, this bird is essential. Indeed, The Cat succeeds all his shots while he has never played golf, thanks to this bird bird which deposits the ball where the famous character of Geluck wishes it. For the moment no date on his return has been announced, hoping that he will not stay in the nest all winter. Geluck’s cats are leaving in March.
