Present at crossing places and at instants of crossing, the monster seems to be an object whose place is central as an intermediate. Represented on bridges, above entries of cities, even on cathedrals, he is present at moments of life which are transitions and passages. The monster is situated between continuity and discontinuity, between individual and collective. He helps the figuration of what is vacant during the passage. That is the reason why he should be linked with the birth of the subject and his construction.
