D-69 before the year 2000, the photograph pays tribute to Serge Gainsbourg's famous title, 69, année érotique. It is also a tribute to the eroticism of the Eiffel Tower itself, enveloped by the silhouette of a pair of long legs perched on the benches of a bateau-mouche. Far from its peaceful image as the protector of Paris, the tower reveals here to what extent - even if we have somewhat forgotten - it means freedom, conquest and provocation. Unexpectedly, it titillates the viewer's eye in an image that the Surrealists would probably not have disowned.
