Giant Offsite: ‘The Estate’

23:23 and panic I haven’t blipped.

So here is a screen-print, of today’s unedited photos, of an art installation which has opened in a container (pic bottom right) in ‘the Triangle’, Bournemouth. One of a series of outdoor installations being sponsored by BCP council.

(Do zoom in, the rooms featured in each image are worth a look).

You could easily walk past without realising what you’re be missing. Luckily I caught Mr B’s eye (walking ahead as usual) to alert him that I was going to view inside.
………..
“ Estate is a dystopian model Village experience featuring four abandoned concrete tower blocks – all housed in one 40 ft. shipping container. The tower block each serve a different function in the estate and contain amusing scenes of mass social, economic and environmental devastation. Collectively known as “Iceni Heights,“ each tower serves a different function: Tower block 1 contains residential “Live- Work- Die‘ units; Tower block 2 is a multi story high security children’s prison; Tower block 3 is a high-rise care home for the old, the dying and the dead; and Tower block 4 appears as an eerie spiritual centre for neo-pagan behaviour”. Each and every room inside the blocks has been “painstakingly vandalised,” and viewers can peek inside where TVs flicker with a rolling new station put together especially for the installation.

Switching off now. Eyes closing.
