Palais des Beaux Arts in Lille: Thought this was a contemporary critique of selfie culture but it's a 16th century monument to René of Chalon, Prince of Orange of course. Silly me.

Life-size limestone statue of putrefied corpse. The head stares upward at a small phone-sized object (actually a human heart) held aloft in the left hand.

Close up of the same sculpture showing the head, arm and heart in more detail

Pulled up by an old red phone box in a country lane - all conkers and dry stone walls. A man in a knackered Land Rover Defender stops and winds down his window, "Eyup, love. Do you know where t'church is?" I Feel like I’m on Sunday teatime TV in 1995 with Wicksy out of Eastenders
