"SAINT-ROMAIN-AU-MONT-D’OR, France (AP) — A replica of the World Trade Center ruins is the last thing you expect to find in a tranquil corner of provincial France. Yet there it is, along with a sign that reads: “The end of the world is nearing.”
This is the Abode of Chaos — art gallery extraordinaire or the local eyesore, depending on who you ask. Twisted car carcasses are heaped in the yard, and the water in the swimming pool out back is tinted a murky blood red. Portraits of Osama bin Laden and other terrorists gaze down at passers-by.
Just a few years ago, the Abode of Chaos was a charming 17th-century residence, perfectly at home on a street of well-preserved farmhouses, golden-hued stone walls and pansies in window boxes.
The Abode’s creator, eccentric entrepreneur Thierry Ehrmann, has been locked in a legal battle with the mayor’s office in this town of 1,100 outside Lyon, in central France, and the trial has made its way to France’s highest court.
The case has sparked heated debate, in court, in blogs, on petitions. Is the Abode of Chaos art? And what neighbor, no matter how open-minded, would want to wake up every morning to Ehrmann’s vision of the apocalypse?
