Picture Perfect - Gobsmacked

 
 
Picture Perfect 2008/#12
Theme : Gobsmacked
Camera : Canon S5 IS
Date Taken : 2008 Mar

As I was passing by the entrance of the National Museum that day, suddenly, something shocking PINK and HUGE (that moment I could only see the lower part of the sculpture, so you can imagine~ LOL) I "gobsmacked".

WoW! Unbelievable! You can make a comparison with the "tiny" men standing there. I was astonished by the SIZE....Oops~ I mean the size of the whole figure. HeyHeyHey, I'm still one of those conservative types.
 



Surrounding David by Titarubi (Indonesia)

An architectural form that has come all the way from Greek Pantheon to Southeast Asia.
"The work investigates various dialectical relations between the imaginary perfect circular space and the sculptural object, through the figure of David. This replica of David, made of fibre-glass, 8.5 meter height, will be placed at the centre of the space, mimicking the typical European “piazza and its anchor statue”. Then another layer of force, in the form of textile ornaments usually used for kebaya, will cover the whole surface of the statue , thus figuratively obliterating the centrality of the figure/image."
