Leuchtende Hirsche

"Leuchtende Hirsche" - illuminated stags - one of the mosaic-covered fantasy sculptures at the park the Swiss artist Bruno Weber built up over decades, part lamppost and part half-human, half-animal figure. The lamps are real and wired for use.

The pink figure beneath them sits somewhere between deer and human ancestor, which is about as far as Weber's work ever commits to a single reading. He built the park around his own house, over forty years, and lived inside it.

Birds, insects, plants and other wildlife, mostly from Brooklyn, with some from further afield.
