A-maze-ing Laughter

a well loved artistic installation in the West End of Vancouver ..... wishing you a relaxing Sunday evening and good new week ...
In A-maze-ing Laughter Beijing-based artist Yue Minjun depicts his own iconic laughing image, with gaping grins and closed eyes in a state of hysterical laughter. These laughing figures are the signature trademark of the artist. They are not a conventional self-portrait because they tell us little about the person portrayed. The longer you look at the 14 cast bronze figures, the more the contradiction of the silent, frozen form of sculpture becomes obvious.

the guy in the sunglasses… yes. he reminds me of waldo finally found! ; ))) what a great art installation this is! at first sight, their laughter is catching. but you are right: the longer one looks at them the eerier their aura becomes. and their larger-than-lifesize construction, the light catching on their iron bodies, the little shadows around their feet – it all contributes to that effect! must be quite an experience to really be there among them, breathing in their collective hysteria… ; ) beautifully composed and captured, adele! waldo and the other passersby ; ) put everything in perspective, size-wise, i mean! ; )) hugs, sabine.
