very poetic.

(makes it even more interesting when you know the place and what's going on) - never liked the idea of those 'rusty steel trees' piece of (f)art.

i just find it extremely tragic. "art" occupying nature's room is tragic. knocking on empty trees is tragic. building a statue to remind us of the dead trees when they still live and we can still save them is tragic. glorifying a place that doen not posses a single square centimeter of nature is tragic. all the tragedy of modern living summarized.

That last reflection, as the narration, is half stick, little bread.

you should come one day and visit, der pratter. then, if you have some spare time, i can organize the dalila es tango tour (and now also the stainful steel tour)

of course we could just go and visit nouel trenard, author of the quixote :-) that's always fun.

Is interesting the art like interpreter of it fixes quotas! But I find mas interesting when the art also is functional, and if it is real? Let's use elements concecuentes, art and nature of the hand, alive! And this way we will do a real change. What I want already this one done! And the honoring to the dead trees is with the life to others

indeed, Xime. one living tree in the middle of so much concrete would have been a lot stronger as a statement than anything else :-(
