if ever you're in the area - post script

A while ago we covered this interesting art instalation. It has now concluded - the photos before and after are pretty shocking.

Photo before - 5th Jan 2005



Photo after - 5th Jan 2006

'"If Ever You're in the Area" is an art project by Bettina Furnee, relating to fear of invasion and rituals of commemoration, coinciding with the 60th anniversary of the end of the second world war in 2005. The project is carried out in collaboration with writers Tony Mitton and Simon Frazer. '

Facinating stuff - and keys in nicely with the Scribbler's various interests in Erosion and the changing landscape around us.
