100 things: 100 photos - photo 33

Oct 17, 2014 19:56

I really like street art, whether it's a graffiti or a mural or whether it's a sculpture. A lot of contemporary sculpture is rather hit and miss, but you can never deny that it adds interest to the location. And some of it is exceedingly photogenic.

There is nothing much to say about this sculpture, apart from how could anyone resist taking a photo of it? A giant, half broken face / mask in a setting of modernist buildings? That's a subject that screams to be photographed. Only thing is it's hidden in an interior square in the yuppiest part of the docklands - Canary Wharf. I'm not sure how many people actually see this sculpture apart from be-suited financial workers. The only reason I saw it is because I walked the whole docklands area while working on my post-graduate dissertation.

As a little bonus I'm including a different - and less impressive - view of it.
