A picture taken in 2008 in Portugal. I only understood recently the semiotic value of this strange appearance. A faucet had been added to a more ancient gargoyle (by damaging its native form) to adapt to new circumstances.
The being of the gargoyle had been altered by adding a faucet. The faucet, in return, acquires a particular status (-compared to just a common faucet) by formerly having been a gargoyle. (It’s not just coming out of an ordinary wall.) There is a back-and-forth effect between these two entities, in this case, the older and the newer.
Nevertheless, from a purely fonctional point of view, in its organic essence, both remain exactly the same: a water outlet! Nevertheless by the co-existance of both emerged something more significant than just the sum of two parts.
