Dante's Inferno

Last night I went to Hell's Half Acre in the Old Vic Tunnels behind Leake Street.
Set up by Lazarides, this was honestly the coolest event of the year!
And it was so much more than just a gallery exhibition - it was an experience.
I loved every bit of it and I wish I could spend every evening in those tunnels, being amazing by what was in there... but unfortunately the tickets are all out...




One of the most amazing things about the exhibit was not the art itself, but the lighting on the art and the shadows this made in the tunnels.

The pigeon-ball did smell a bit.... but pretty cool nontheless.


........

I did wonder how a "3D collage" was made...
By Jonathan Yeo. Cut out of porn magazines.


........

My favourite favourite piece on this show was this video installation of exploding fire.
I cannot describe how much I enjoyed this!
I stood mesmerized for ages - watching the fire change shapes and mirror on the water underneath, as well as getting hypnotized by the sound.
I have a video but neither that or these pictures does it justice.



........


To exit the place you had to go through the mist of water.
Perhaps it was meant to cleanse you from hell and various sins....





Well done Lazarides!!

Beautiful sunny day with a bright sun and blue sky.
Went to Camden - filled with way too many people, greedy sellers, junk and other trash.
But also the odd punk, some good street art and other rockers, and I most of the time manage to find a treasure here and there...

Shepherds Bush prison

I spotted this prisoner the other day when I was biking home from work.
He is jailed in the little house on the Green where the homeless people sleep.

We are all in the gutter, but some of us are looking at the stars.

Today the sky was on fire.

The sun on Hyde Park tonight was truly magical.
Fall's here and I'm feeling the love.
