This art installation is a unique way to keep the graffiti artists and pigeons away. It has been likened to smarties, bubble wrap and daleks. What other names can you come up?
I can understand that it might keep the graffiti kooks at a distance, but pigeons? Nah. Nothing bothers pigeons! Their DNA directs them to drop their crap in every nook and cranny of the world and they will not be stopped! :-)
That looks like Red Cross Way... have you stopped by the Cross Bones Graveyard just down that street? Or Red Cross Gardens? Love Southwark!!
I also love the colourful train tunnels. I live not far away - in Bermondsey - and I get a thrill every time they gussy-up a tunnel. Alas the one I pass through daily will never get a facelift as it is used for filming creep victorian movies etc... it has garnered the name 'rape tunnel' amongst my household - not for any real occurances (to our knowledge), just the overall ick vibe.
I see the SMARTIE AIRPORT in this light installation...

does look like the daleks are in town - think i'd prefer a decent mural myself.

ReplyDeleteI like it. Colorful dots!
ReplyDeleteCelebrity Squares was the first thing that popped into my mind for some reason. I love that area.
ReplyDeleteAlways admire these. Have you seen the ones set in the ground not far away?
