Every time I visited Geneva and had to wait on the train station platforms, I noticed those luminous works of art in the street in front, and I always wondered what the story behind them was. The last time I visited Geneva, I took the photo you see above when I was passing by.
Some days ago, I read the story of those displays, and it's as interesting as they are beautiful: in December 2016, this work, titled "Pinta Cura", created by the local artist Frédéric Post, was set up in the center of Geneva for the 3rd edition of the Geneva Lux Festival. The work depicts the shamanic symbolism of yagé medicine among some indigenous peoples of Colombia, featuring the figures of the anaconda and the jaguar, two animals of power linked to healing and care.
