Our Silences

Ten enormous sculptures form a circle in Victoria Tower Gardens. The work of Mexican sculpture Nuestros Silencios (Our Silences) is on display to mark the bicentenary of Mexico's independence. Each statue has a plate covering the mouth, symbolising freedom of speech and expression.
Already shown in major cities around the world the exhibition moves on to Paris after London.
Really worth a visit if you are in London. Parisians keep a watch out for it when it comes over to you.

An interesting display. Too bad, it doesn't look like it is making a tour in the US at all.

The symbolism strikes me as odd - more like 'Speak no evil' or even 'Don't speak'.

Quite powerful. Thanks for sharing a glimpse of it as I doubt it will be showing anywhere near me.

Interesting place, not sure if I like the sculptures. By the way Mo Slinkachu has an exhibition on at Andipa Gallery in March. To see his latest work - http://little-people.blogspot.com/
