EACH REVOLUTION MUST SEEK
ITS PARTICULAR EXPRESSION, EACH GROUP INVOLVED ITS TEXT, ITS FORM, ITS SLOGAN.
THE SCRIBBLES ON THE WALLS: THE POSTER,
THE WALL NEWSPAPER, THE SCRAWL BECAME
THE SLOGAN OF THE MAY REVOLUTION.
THE DISCUSSION THAT HAD
PREVIOUSLY OCCURRED TO SOME EXTENT WITHIN THE
WALLS OF THE CLOSED SYSTEMS MOVED OUT ONTO THE STREET.
THE CLASSIC EXPRESSION OF POLITICAL AGITATION
CLASSIC EXPRESSION OF POLITICAL AGITATION, THE SLOGAN, THE STREET DEMONSTRATION ILLUSTRATED THE OPINIONS. THE WALLS,
THE FACADES OF HOUSES WERE IN TURN ILLUSTRATED WITH THE
THE VARIOUS GROUPS' PROPAGANDA MATERIAL,
A MULTI-ART DISPLAY OF GREAT
FORMAT EMERGED.

Very rare document on May 68 to be published at the time. It captures the immediacy and spontaneity of the May 68 movement. Most works on this protest were published later, except for a few magazines and Jean Claude Gautrand's book “Les murs de mai”, published in Belgium in 69.
