Les tulipes de Shangri-La
France

Dans le cadre des Expositions "Flower Power", l’esplanade François Mitterrand, située entre la gare Lille Europe et Euralille, a été parée d’une sculpture permanente de 7 mètres de haut, réalisée en 2003 à l'occasion de Lille 2004 par l'artiste japonaise Yayoi Kusama : un grand bouquet de tulipes multicolores.

Shangri-La est le nom d'un lieu imaginaire décrit dans le roman "Lost Horizon" écrit par James Hilton en 1933 : "Shangri-La a été découverte au fin fond de l'Himalaya, une oasis de verdure luxuriante et d'eau vive, perdue au milieu de sommets glacés".
Yayoi Kusama est une artiste contemporaine japonaise, avant-gardiste, peintre, sculptrice et écrivain.

La photo a été prise en mars 2014, en milieu d'après-midi. Panorama réalisé en version HDR (enfuse).

More About France

France is affectionately referred to as "the Hexagon" for its overall shape.French history goes back to the Gauls, a Celtic tribe which inhabited the area circa 300BC until being conquered by Julius Caesar.The Franks were the first tribe to adopt Catholic Christianity after the Roman Empire collapsed. France became an independent location in the Treaty of Verdun in (843 AD), which divided up Charlemagne's Carolingian Empire into several portions.The French monarchy reached its zenith during the reign of Louis XIV, the Sun King, who stood for seventy-two years as the Monarch of all Monarchs. His palace of Versailles and its Hall of Mirrors are a splendid treasure-trove of Baroque art.The French Revolution ended the rule of the monarchy with the motto "Liberty, Equality, Fraternity!" On July 14th, 1789 angry mobs stormed La Bastille prison and began the Revolution in which Louis XVI, his wife Marie-Antoinette and thousands of others met the guillotine.One decade after the revolution, Napolean Bonaparte seized control of the Republic and named himself Emperor. His armies conquered most of Europe and his Napoleonic Code became a lasting legal foundation for concepts of personal status and property.During the period of colonization France controlled the largest empire in the world, second only to Britain.France is one of the founding members of the European Union and the United Nations, as well as one of the nuclear armed nations of the world.Text by Steve Smith.
