Casts of German, Russian and US military helmets, modelled as crawling turtles, are displayed at Trocadero near the Eiffel Tower in Paris May 8, 2011. The art installation, made of 1,000 casts by French artist and sculptor Rachid Khimoune, is intended to denounce global violence and coincides with the anniversary of the May 8, 1945 Armistice Day which marks the end of WWII.[Photo/Agencies]
