The Hand of the Desert and Monument to the Drowned
Chilean sculptor Mario Irarrázabal has produced two giant hand sculptures located in strange places. The first hand sculpture, The Hand of the Desert, is located deep in the the Atacama desert in Chile. The hand was constructed at an altitude of 1,100 meters above sea level. The work has a base of iron and cement, and stands 11 meters tall. The second hand, Monument to the Drowned, is a sculpture of five fingers partially submerged in sand, located at Brava Beach in Punta del Este, Uruguay.
Among Animals. 2009/2012.
Empecé a trabajar en Among Animals allá por 2009, pero no me convencía el resultado, le faltaba algo. No fue hasta 2012 que lo di por acabado y fue elegido para formar parte de Llage & Co.
Los fragmentos que incluyen niños y animales en la piscina proceden de Pool Party, un collage de Agnes Montgomery, artista a la que admiro, y que fue portada del album Person Pitch, de Panda Bear.
I began working on Among Animals in 2009, but I was not pleased with the result, there was something missed. It was not until early this year that I considered it done and it was chosen to be part of Llage & Co.
The fragments with children and animals were taken from Pool Party, a collage by Agnes Montgomery, an artist I admire, which was also the cover of a Panda Bear record, Person Pitch.

También pusieron esta. Y por alguna razón automáticamente me vino a la mente esta escena. Tengo que volver a ver esta serie.
Because The Night, Patti Smith
Ir a una discoteca en plena zona pija y que en vez de ponerte pachanga y mierdas te pongan canciones como esta (entre otras, cada una de su padre y de su madre), mola.
