Day 11 from 37 – 24th July 2012

37 Days – Holiday project.

It can be said that weeds in the garden are plants in the wrong place. Dust and dirt around the house is simply material in the wrong place. What about art then….

Art?  Not all of it gets me excited, a lot of it I don’t understand, much of it I don’t particularly like, but more often than not I can at least appreciate that it’s well done. Perfectly drawn, brilliantly put together, with much skill and patience beautifully made.

But what is this?

Day 11 – Art?: Panasonic DMC-LX2; f/3.6; 1/100s;
ISO 100 – Straight Out Of The Camera
Day 11 – Art from a distance: Panasonic DMC-LX2; f/4; 1/160s;
ISO 100 – Straight Out Of The Camera

I’m convinced that the artist who did this knows lots and lots about his or her subject. The people who commissioned the work are no doubt very… arty.

Day 11 – From behind… or perhaps not: Panasonic DMC-LX2; f/3.2; 1/125s;
ISO 100 – Straight Out Of The Camera
Day 11 – From the side…almost certainly: Panasonic DMC-LX2; f/4; 1/160s;
ISO 100 – Straight Out Of The Camera

I don’t want to criticise too much because I’m sure everyone concerned meant well, and there are surely excellent reasons for displaying this object next to a beautifully modern building with clean lines and oodles of style.

Day 11 – Scrap iron perhaps?: Panasonic DMC-LX2; f/4; 1/125s;
ISO 100 – Straight Out Of The Camera

But somehow I can’t help but think that it looks like something the builders forgot.

Day 11 – Left behind?: Panasonic DMC-LX2; f/4.9; 1/80s;
ISO 100 – Straight Out Of The Camera

Perhaps that’s the whole point…. It’s a conversation piece?
