hey people, the past couple of weeks have been a bit hectic round here, hence the lack of posts. everything’s now back to normal so things should pick up. glad to see everyone enjoying and linking to the bridges post - seems you can never get too much of ‘em. 

a quick slice of awesome to begin the comeback. can you guess what’s going on with the trees in the photos below?



yep, they’re revolving. it’s an installation by diller, scofidio and renfro, the geniuses behind the blur building, and goes by the name of arbores laetae (joyful trees). to be found in a roadside park in liverpool, the installation consists of 17 trees, the middle 3 of which slowly rotate throughout the day, confusing the unsuspecting public in the process.



it’s one of 30 installations that make up the city’s biennial arts festival and i think it’s brilliant. there’s something spookily satisfying about seeing your surroundings behaving unnaturally. the festival’s other projects can be seen here.
