lunch with helmut on

[Grampa]

To keep myself occupied and to keep the boys entertained over the summer, we're having step-dad day camp. Each week we are diving into different subjects. This week is art week. Today we visited the a local art gallery. Next week is photography week.

We met Michelle for lunch today, with her she had a book with a picture from the artist Shigeo Fukuda titled lunch with helmut on that ties into this and next weeks subjects.



Its made out of 848 spoons, knives and forks welded  together in such a way, that when backlit from a very specific angle, the shadow cast is that of a dirtbike.

Wow very impressive.

From the title I thought it was gonna be the video of the guy trying to eat fast food while wearing a full-face helmet.

BP, admit it, you photoshopped that.




That's cool, amazing and mildly disturbing at the same time.
