Water Hole magic...






Swiss artists Gerda Steiner and Jörg Lenzlinger have created an ecological fantasy-world in ACCA’s main gallery. The pair, who have collaborated since 1997, bring together made and found objects to create extravagant, magical installations that are full of allegory and beauty.

Seems we frequent the same watering hole... I often drink there on a Tuesday with an antelope and a mouse companion much like Ganesha's in tow.

P.S. Lovely photos of the installation.

I felt mighty naughty taking photos esp after I realised the video camera was trained on people in the viewing room! Caught red-handed! But then I saw your magical Alice-down-the-burrow pics, which were exactly what I wanted to snap but was too wimpy. They are usually such facists at ACCA it didn't occur to me that snapping would be ok...
