Jim the New Yorker, one of Les enfants du Monde, or Children of the World, 2001, by Rachid Khimoune, 21 bronze sculptures representing different countries made using imprints from streets (paving stones, bronze grids, manholes, etc), symbolising the need to respect the rights of children at the dawn of the 21st century, in the Parc de Bercy, a public park along the banks of the Seine in the 12th arrondissement of Paris, France. The park was commissioned in 1993 by President Francois Mitterand and is comprised of 3 gardens designed by Bernard Huet, Madeleine Ferrand, Jean-Pierre Feugas, Bernard Leroy, and by landscapers Ian Le Caisne and Philippe Raguin. The gardens are the Romantic Garden, with fishponds and dunes, the Flowerbeds and the Meadows, open lawns shaded by tall trees. Picture by Manuel Cohen
