The fountain court at Somerset House is currently a grass meadow with 10,000 ceramic blooms. An art installation by Chilean artist Fernando Casasempere. The blooms are made with clay from his native Chile a material used by local artists for hundreds of years. The installation titled "Out of Sync" go on display in Santiago and then take up permanent residence in the desserts of northern Chile. In the mean time it is the perfect courting space for a couple of pigeons.

amazing art installation. And the pigeons are a perfect blending into the picture.
It's amazing! Natural and sophisticated, I like it.
I love being amazed by the variety of art that can be found all over the world. This is most interesting. They look great on the green grass. I'm trying to picture them in a desert setting.
I love the idea of planting this artwork in the Chilean desert.
I do find however that in modern art a lot of the effects are obtained by making things BIG or in very large numbers. It doesn't necessarily mean that each piece is exquisitely made... other times, other ways.
BTW, my daughter who lives in London has received her London Dungeon tickets and she's delighted. She's thinking of using them next weekend. Thanks again !
And to think, that was a sheet of ice just a few weeks back...
The pigeons look very realistic. :-)
I couldn't open your site for several days but have downloaded an upgrade so I am happy to be able to catch up! Love this one.

I really must make the time to nip over there... wonder if I can squeeze it in tomorrow lunchtime :\
