Our
objectif
Our objective: A wall of 5.8m in length
and 2m in height on which was written
INDIFFERENCE was taken down brick
by brick by means every time that
money was placed in an urn in front
of the wall. Everything was completely
for the profit of the Telethon. As
the wall was being knocked down, a
banner was revealed behind it with
a message bringing the solution to
the problem of indifference today.
“It’s love for one’s
neighbour which will make the wall
of indifference collapse!”
