People and grass

Here's some more trippy stuff we saw on the wkend - there's this crazy installation art thing set up around Southbank in London at the moment, where the artist has made heaps of life-size casts of himself and they've been put on buildings all around London. So you'll just be walking around and see out of the corner of your eye this silhouette of a person standing on the corner of a roof on a sky-scraper - it's a bit disturbing! You can just see 4 of them on the tops of the buildings in this pic - it's around the Haywood Gallery building, which is where the rest of the exhibition is being held.

The other disturbing thing is what seems to be becoming London fascination with grass. A few weeks ago it was the grass that they'd laid on Trafalgar Square, and now it seems to be that they've covered an entire building with grass!! The crazy grass building is also over on Southbank (funnily enough same as the kooky Tate Modern, home of glasses-of-water-that-are-really-oak-trees). Mark saw them watering the building the other day - imagine being paid to do that?! The best thing about it is that they've put one of the person-statues on top of the crazy-grass-building, so there's this surreal enormous cube of grass topped by a person standing on the top corner looking like he's about to fall off. Love it! Here's a pic - you should be able to click on these to enlarge them and see the people.
