Giant Little Girl Woken Up

On the morning of Sunday 7th May the little girl giant woke up at Horseguards Parade in London, took a shower from the time-traveling elephant and wandered off to play in the park…The fascination with dolls and specially with marionettes as well as the machine an mechanics was always present in the art. That fascination must be the product of men’s will to be free and will to get out for m the box and be the one who decides about the things in life. There is a need to see that you make a difference and that you have a power to decide. I love how this looks like, but as well it is something which brings up your biggest fear. It is interesting how this lovely doll can bring up such a mixed up feelings in us. This is surely the reason why the dolls have always been big obsessions for many artists.

Fear In The Street aka Hooligans

vedrisha — Sat, 14 Nov 2009 11:16:40 +0000

Hooliganism refers to unruly and destructive behavior. Such behavior is commonly associated with sports fans, particularly supporters of association football and university sports. In some countries, the hooligan elements of a group of supporters are known as Category C. The term can also apply to general rowdy behavior and vandalism, often under the influence of alcohol or drugs.
The word hooliganism and hooligan began to be associated with violence in sports, in particular from the 1960s in the UK with football hooliganism, although one of the earliest known instances of crowd violence at a sporting event involved two chariot racing factions, the Blues and the Greens in the Nika riots which lasted around a week in Constantinople in 532 with nearly half the city being burned or destroyed and tens of thousands of people killed.
