法国艺术家Ella＆Pitr二人组在法国圣艾蒂安的la villa en gier已经完成了一幅名为“the shipwreck of bienvenu”的壁画，画上了他们连载的睡眠巨人。47米长的大型壁画装饰了废弃的水坝，重新振兴了现有的建筑及其周边的景观。

French artist Duo Ella & Pitr have completed a mural titled ‘the shipwreck of bienvenu,’ adding to their continuous series of sleeping giants with a painting in la villa en gier, in st. etienne, France. The large-scale, 47 meter mural decorates an abandoned dam wall, reinvigorating the existing structure and its surrounding landscape.

该坝最初建于1959年，但由于施工的问题使其在功能上无法继续使用。Ella＆Pitr的五名艺术家队伍，依靠绳索，在短短两个星期内将人造壁垒变为艺术家的画布，并完成了插画。该图叙述了一个故事，艺术家描述说，“巨人在小船上长途漂泊后，终于到达了他正在寻找的地方——他手里那张小照片显示出这就是他梦寐以求的地方。而在他休息后又会发生什么呢？ ”

The dam was originally built in 1959, but problems with the overall construction made it dangerous to use for its intended function. Ella & Pitr’s team of five artists, suspended on ropes, completed the illustration in just 2 weeks — transforming the manmade barrier into the artist’s canvas. The figure is accompanied by a narrative. The artists describe, ‘after a long trip on his little boat, he finally arrived where he was looking for — thanks to a small picture of the place he dreamt about. He’s now resting, and questioning about what will happen next.’

在巨人的手里握着包括其位置的周围山峰看到的大坝照片。他的身体卷曲着坐在丘陵的起伏处，成为戈尔现有风景的一部分。

In his hand, the giant holds an image of the dam, peaking out from the surrounding hills that converge at its centerThe placement of his feet along the ground emphasize the figure’s sense of being within this specific context. His body curls into itself, nestled in the low undulation of the hills — becoming a part of la valla en gier’s existing landscape.
