Eye-catching installation by Angolan artist Binelde Hyrcan at the 'No Fly Zone' exhibition on display at the Belém Cultural Centre in Lisbon.
Angola (former Portuguese colony) is far from being a democracy. I believe these 'generals' represent the very wealthy and corrupt elite who rules the country amidst gold and diamonds while the people live in the trash.
Why 'Thirteen Hours'? I don't know.

An interesting installation, social commentary , beautifully captured.
... my interpretation. We still have 11 hours till doomsday? All is not lost... yet.
There are definitely political implications here JM, beautifully shown..

Thought-provoking. Looks like you weren't the only one taking pictures!
Fascinating! I was going to ask you what it all meant. Sounds as though Angola has the same problem that is manifested in various ways in many countries.
Re your comment: do the authorities hassle the homeless or leave them alone?
Sometimes art has no rhyme or reason, beautifully captured shots.
An amazing installation, What are the coffins to represent?
I wonder if there's a particular significance to the 25 little coffins. All in all, a somber reflection.
What an amazing installation.
What an amazing metaphor - so sad to see all those coffins.
It seems like a though provoking piece and you have done a good job of photographing it.
Tragic and funny at the same time!
Fascinating. Where'd he get all those stuffed pigeons? Their clothes are both admirable and laughable. Part of the point, I imagine.
A truly arresting installation!
Maybe the artist was alluding to Fibonacci's sequence, would not be the first to do so.
Impressionnant !
