"Red Independent Heart"


Joana Vasconcelos' rotating installation made of twisted red plastic forks and knives at Ajuda National Palace, Lisbon. Click here for a closer look on another post.

By the way, the Portuguese Pavilion at the Venice Biennale is her creation. It's an old ferry she tiled which travelled from Lisbon to Venice. Check the photos by clicking here.

I will have a surgery this evening and, hopefully, I'll be back home tomorrow. However, if you don't see me around the next couple of days it's just because I'm in a baaaaaad mood! :-) Hope to see you soon.
