Big Ben Lying Down with Political Books

Another visit to Manchester International Festival and lunch with the other Thompson Twin. This was inside a giant sculpture in Piccadilly Gardens, which is described as “Lying almost horizontal and covered in 20,000 copies of books that have shaped British politics, this temporary landmark will inspire new conversations about what we value – conversations drawing from Manchester’s unique and independent spirit.” Not sure it it did its job on this occasion but the scaffolding was interesting.
