Someone actually looked at something

These large heads are on Bishopsgate and look this man is actually looking at them.  It just had to be today's blip.

The weather forecast had said that it was cooler today but it didn't feel it.

I feel sorry for the business gentlemen as they still go to work in their suits whereas ladies can wear little dresses.  There are lots of them being worn at the moment and of course there are lots of flip flops too.  I hate them.  I hate the noise that they make and they don't give feet any support. And today I saw a woman wearing them with tights.  How bizarre.

If you would like to know more about the heads they are number 4 in a trail of 17

4. 'SUNRISE. east. July' / 'SUNRISE. east. October' | Ugo Rondinone | 2005
Ugo Rondinone's series of twelve giant masks – each named for a month of the year – are at once monolithic and ghostlike, their massive bronze forms offset by a shimmering silver patina. Set on top of concrete plinths, the globular, elongated heads express distinct moods – variously smiling, menacing and doleful – and pick up on Rondinone's recurring motif, the mask. The sculptures also resemble primordial totems, in particular the gigantic stone heads of Easter Island; and their mythic titles enhance this subtext of archaic pagan ritual. At the same time, the works are playfully anthropomorphic – the expressions taking on a cartoonish air. Their finger-pitted surfaces emphasise their human crafting – reminding us of the gradual process of clay modelling out of which they arose.
