At the sculpture park, Helsinki



Note Finlandia House and the National Museum in the background. I have always loved this entirely undeveloped bit of wasteland, put to artistic use, right in the heart of town. Unfortunately but hardly surprisingly, it is all facing development soon.

They had human ears carefully sculpted at the end of each one, facing each other so as to be listening. The piece was called "A Piece of Silence". I have a close-up of one ear, I'll probably be posting that on my flickr account sometime soon. Will let you know when it's up...
