L’Appât
|
The lure. The bait.
In
Mas d’azil, where until recently Catholics and Protestants lived
side by side, using separate facilities for each faith - the green cross
recovers its original meaning. From a heraldic origin, the pharmacy cross
was originally red. The crusaders made it the emblem of Christianity.
During the 19 C, it was chosen as the Red Cross symbol. The green colour
was officially attributed to the French pharmacy cross a few years later.
The green cross testifies of the importance of religious heritage and
has become for some communities a symbol of the way of living with the
Other. The seemingly innocent pharmacy sign baits the individuals standing
within its rays and influences their reactions. The bait attracts, seduces
and leads preys to the catch.
