Viral Art at the V and A


Ever been to a pretentious art gallery and thought, 'I could do just as good as that, if not better'? Well, I did, and armed with a copy of one of my favourite photos mounted in an identical frame to the gallery's, and a freshly engraved plaque, again identical to the gallery’s, I covertly seized an opportunity to show my efforts off to the world, well… London.
A bit about the photograph; I took the photo in January 1990 in Berlin. I arrived at the time the infamous Wall was being pulled down. Having helped smash a fresh breach in the wall with a sledgehammer, I peeked through to find two East German border guards locked in casual conversation in 'no-mans land'. Out comes my trusty ol' Nikon 401 35mm - Gotcha!

Strangely enough, the young art student who was sitting down on one of the computers said the same thing. Would you like to be part of my next caper. I got something very cool in the post today...

You are a disturbed individual, this is good. Why not try an object of interest over the road in the Science museum or leave a dead mouse skeleton in the natural!
