[FR] Le Zoulou est une statue qui, si elle en impose avec ses trois cent kilos, représente avant tout pour son auteur « la liberté, la solidarité ». Très attaché à l’Afrique, Jean-Claude Lorenzo a souhaité honorer ce continent qu’il affectionne particulièrement. « Ses rastas sont des chaînes que j’ai piquées aux allemands pendant la Seconde Guerre Mondiale ». Néanmoins, l’artiste se refuse à communiquer ses intentions, de peur d’imposer une interprétation.
Cette sculpture est placée le long des fortifications médiévales d'Avignon, ville classée au patrimoine mondial de l'Unesco (voyez le waymark "WMWCM") et à quelques pas du célèbre "Pont d'Avignon".
