Petit Pierre

Pierre Avezard, called Petit Pierre, was an amazing human being whose life and work has moved thousands of people. His creation, a mechanical installation; fascinating for both the combination of characters and the inventions and gears that animate them, has become a great love poem for life. Every spring he proudly showed it to everyone who wanted to come along and he himself would put it to work as an extension of his body. All those who knew him were touched by this singular and wonderful person, able to create an extraordinarily simple yet incredibly powerful piece of work.
