Mysterious signs displayed in Sarlat in the Dordogne have residents questioning

“Time brings everything to light”. The sentence, painted in red on a blue tarpaulin posted on a stone wall at the roundabout of the deviation, at the exit of Sarlat, has something to question. Especially since it is not the only poster plastered in the capital of black Périgord. They bloomed, one after another at the station, at Plantier, behind the cathedral, on a roundabout in the direction of Gourdon… With, each time, a triangle, a cross, a circle, and a message: “art is life, life is art”, “certain signs precede certain events”… All this raises questions, and residents of Sarlat are investigating.

A Banksy Sarladais?

Jean-Louis saw one, a blue tarp hanging on a stone wall. “It’s an hourglass. It turns, the sand flows… We stay with time”, he tries to analyze. Some whisper it’s a cult, others a treasure hunt. In any case at the town hall we don’t know who it is, even the postwoman didn’t see anything. But for Patrice, it is necessarily someone who wants to remain discreet. “Given the artistic patina, it can only be the same person or the same group. The sensitivity is the same. It is perhaps an artist, an approach, a descendant of the street-artist Miss.Tic: s’ appropriate the street to show his works and convey a message?”he asks himself.

The mystery solved

In any case for Olivier it is necessarily someone from the area. For him the locations chosen necessarily have a meaning, and he watches for new signs that will allow him to solve the enigma. And it seems that it has been heard: a new poster appeared in the night from Saturday to Sunday, a tarpaulin placed at the roundabout of the deviation. We guess a palette of paint, and the message “Edw’Art exhibition from August 12 to 24. André Malraux Gallery in Sarlat”.

The signs were displayed in several streets of Sarlat.
