What Time is it?

Ben pointed me towards this:


This is Sculpture Canadian artist David Altmejd. He makes strange semi grotesque semi mirror finish metal sculptures.

The thing that really pulls it all together for me is the little digital wristwatch. It was kind of neat before but when i noticed that, i was sold. It's tiny details like that, that make a sculpture like this interesting. How in instances like this something so utterly normal and common place becomes the absurd solely by comparison.

Check out 'Bicycling Vampire Killer' on your father's blog, (Luke, it is your destiny), and Swan Lake video on GBFins blog.
