Underneath
the
pavement
is the
beach
is a
situationist
slogan
/ piece 0f
graffitti
from the
May Events
of
Paris
1968
.
It can be variously understood as:
A call to dig up the
paving stones
and throw them at the
cops
A call to over throw the
spectacle
in favour of a society built on
pleasure
.
An expression of the belief in
revolutionary possibility
that underneath the pre-existing
society
is a world of
infinite possibility
. The biggest shock for me cam e however when somebody took up the
pavement
outside my
house
and
as far as the eye could see
was
sand
! - So underneath the pavement it really is the
beach
!
Admiring the silence
Pavement
No one learned anything, because there was nothing to learn.
