has description | a une description: On April 19 2021, visual artist Ivan Argote published a video of a small team of people lifting Gallieni's statue away from the monument with a crane (see references). The French newspaper Regards published it as the city of Paris removing the statue, but this was only an artistic performance enhanced with visual effects to imagine new potential futures for Paris and the monument.
When Regards posted this on social media, panic ensued, and officials from the city of Paris rushed to the scene to see that the monument was intact; they posted a photo on their twitter accoun asking Regards to stop publishing fake news. This jumpstarted a debate on social media, almost a year after the wave of contestations against this monument.
