Chimeras, created by the French artist Prune, are a hybrid between dog and child. Prune explains - “It’s a reflexion on the border between human being and animal. I chose an ambiguity that you can find in all cities of the world, a quotidian fact > master who looks like his dog, or who carry it like a baby”

The sculptures are in resin and hand painted. The artist fixes them to a hole in the pavement, in front of bakeries (“the more quotidian shop//where dogs are forbidden”)
