Nimis, the art structure

Tuesday, 26 June 2007

Take one artist, many pieces of wood and driftwood, 175,000 nails and put them together and what do you get? Nimis, the world's most controversial art structure. Loved by visitors (it gets 30, 000 despite its remote location) and hated by the Swedish government (it has sued the artist to have it removed, to which he responded to by claiming the 1km it stands on to be a seperate country called Landonia) it is the craziest thing I have seen in a while. In places it was about 3 stories high. It has survived multiple arson attempts, has 13,000 citizens but no residents, was the subject of a Discovery Channel show and seeing how a fall on those rocks would be scary we , being the (only) unfair parents in the world, didn't let the kids go too high on it. It was a great adventure seeing it though.
