Photo Hunt: broken



This 12 meters/39 ft high wood sculpture by the Swiss artist Daniel Berset represents a giant chair with a broken leg and stands on the Place des Nations, in Geneva. It symbolizes opposition to land mines and cluster bombs, and acts as a reminder to politicians and others visiting Geneva. I have posted other pictures of this broken chair here already, bear with me, it's all because of the message.

  9. I haven't seen it before, but I love it. And the message needs to be told over and over again. Perfect for the theme!

  10. A thought-provoking art work. Who says modern art can't impact one's heart and soul? Not me! :)

  17. It sure is a BIG one and I'm sure it gets noticed, a clever way to get the message out.
