Rue du Dragon
1974
A dynamic composition of torn and layered posters, *Rue du Dragon* exemplifies Villeglé's signature *décollage* technique, in which weathered street advertisements are ripped and salvaged from Parisian walls. Fragments of text, color, and imagery overlap and interrupt one another, preserving the raw, accidental beauty of urban decay. The work transforms anonymous, everyday ephemera into a vibrant record of city life and collective, unconscious authorship.
