An acolyte of street artist James Colomina sells bottled water from the Seine River ironically described as ‘finely polluted’ in front of the Eiffel Tower Paris. Colomina’s installation is to draw attention on the investment by Paris City Council to clean up the Seine for the Paris 2024 Olympic Games. The aim of this symbolic action is to denounce the exorbitant expenditure and to question the sustainability of this initiative.
Weather permitting, the river will be the star of the opening ceremony of the Games on July 26 and will then host the triathlon and the swimming marathon. “We hope the weather will get a little better, but we are not worried about the possibility of holding the competitions,” Rabadan said. “They will take place.”Weather in Paris is forecast to be mostly dry over the final 14 days before the start of the Games.
