Great place to put art. Never saw a olive press with FOUR crushing stones.

What an interesting installation. I have a friend who makes mounted cloth animal heads...humane trophies...they're wonderful.

Lois said...

That second shot is so good JM! I like the colors too.

Sharon said...

This looks like an interesting exhibition. I'm curious about the color of the walls. Are they always this deep red? It certainly makes a dramatic backdrop for the art.

Very nice images. Well lighted and perfectly framed.

Interesting...we tend to get the real thing over here! I like that wallpaper...but I'm not sure I could live with it.

It's strange, I'm not sure what I feel about it. Wallpaper (or at least I think it's wallpaper) is funny - interesting mixture of cosy animal pattern and those demonic pictures:)

No, Sharon, the red pannels are part of the exhibition. The building interiors are white as you can check clicking the link.

Weird, but fascinating!

I love both of these shots, but the one into the mirror is so interesting!

Utilizing these two images together really completes this mysterious story -- Brilliant!
