The Luxembourg cartoonist Pol Leurs created a remarkable intervention in the building of the European Cartoon Center on the occasion of his solo exhibition in 2013.
He drew four cartoons that were printed on the ECC’s interior doors. Three toilet doors received an original Leurs: a lifebuoy for the men’s room in case the urinals get clogged (which, by the way, has never happened), a unicycle for the accessible toilets, and a voyeur peeking through a hole into the women’s restroom (his eye is also visible from the inside).
Leurs then made a fourth drawing showing traces of a break‑in for the storage room.
We remain grateful to Pol for his splendid idea and his interventions.
Born in 1947, Pol Leurs built a professional career as an engineer. Additionally, he is a self-taught cartoonist whose work has been published in various newspapers and he has won over 83 prizes in international cartoon competitions, 19 of which were first prizes.
