Artzuid in Amsterdam

For searching for Utopia the artist Jan Fabre was inspired by the book Utopia writen by English statesman and humanist Thomas More in 1516,
describing an imaginary island with an ideal political system.
In the sculpture Fabre depicts himself riding a huge tortoise,
looking out to sea for the island Utopia.
By choosing a tortoise as his steed he is saying that the desired destination should be reached at a leisurely pace rather than in a rush..

Thank you for all your visits and comments

wow, what a landmark! and yikes!! a work of art, but definitely transcending the border between art and kitsch, too – the narcissist arrogance of the golden tortoise rider – almost too much for my aesthetic self ; ))). what i like, though, is how the green lawn is being reflected in the tortoise's golden skin/shell! the composition of the shot is great, too, with the majestic trees even enhancing the glory of the tortoise ride – he's having his eyes closed, right? so maybe utopia is discoverd solely with the heart?! ; ) hugs, sabine.
