Florentijn Hofman
Hollandi kunstniku Florentijn Hofmani tehtud tööde hulka kuulub muuhulgas ka Prantsusmaal mööda Loire´i jõge seilanud hiiglaslik vannipardike ("Badeend", 2007)...
...mille kohta Hofman ise ütleb:
"The friendly, floating Rubber Duck has healing properties: it can relieve mondial tensions as well as define them. The rubber duck is soft, friendly and suitable for all ages!"
...ja kummuli klaverid ("Paal 5", 2006) Põhjameres Friisi saarte hulka kuuluva Schiermonnikoogi saare rannal:
"For the fifth anniversary of the Schiermonnikoog International Chamber Music Festival, I came up with a concept of grand pianos washed upon the shore. The refer to stranded cargo and ditto whales. To be salvaged or saved; in any case to be wondered and surprised about. To one person it’s of value beyond measure, the other looks upon it as being just derelict wood. Islanders come and gather, to admire, to salvage or to save and, thus, see their beach again in a whole new perspective."
Kõik pildid ja Hofmani sõnad on pärit Hofmani kodulehelt.
Defenestratsioon
Installatsioon "Defenestration" San Franciscos, USAs:
Wikipediast selgus minu jaoks aga üllatav tõsiasi, et defenestration on juba väga vana mõiste/toiming:
"Defenestration is the act of throwing someone or something out of a window. The term was coined around the time of an incident in Prague Castle in the year of 1618. ...Historically, the word defenestration was used to refer to an act of political dissent. Notably, the defenestrations of Prague in 1419 and 1618 helped to trigger prolonged conflict within Bohemia and beyond. It is said that some Catholics ascribed the survival of those defenestrated at Prague Castle in 1618 to divine intervention."

Big Sur, California
Pildi autor: Mike Levin
Big Sur on piirkond USAs, Californias. Seda paika tahaks oma silmaga ka näha, paistab imeilus...
Big Suriga seostub kohe Ralph Lauren Home (Hither Hills Studio ja American Summer): laisk ja jõukas jõudeelu ookeani äärel...
