All I know is that a piscator means fisherman or angler but I don' really get it.
Mo - you might have walked past it tons of times! I know I have. It is outside Euston station.
Emm, Malawi cranes -> those are maximum cards. Stamps are on the picture side so you can compare concordance stamp+postcard+postmark, "for philatelic pleasure". See more in my websites. :) I'll follow your blog.
What a strange sculpture. Yes, Namibia was good, made it down to Fish River Canyon this time. One bad day; the battery failed on the 4x4 in the middle of friggin' nowhere. Didn't like that. Third time there on self-drive but first serious problem. Great country.
Intriguing piece of street art. I haven't got a clue as to what it is meant to represent or where it is, you will have to enlighten me?
ReplyDeletewhat a beautiful find!
ReplyDeleteHow unusual is that :-)
ReplyDeleteIntriguing name, too.... The best I can think of is something to do with fish, but there seems no resemblance.
ReplyDeleteWhere did you find that?

I was curious myself, but it looks like the artist might have created the piece to honor the expressionist theatre director Edwin Piscator.
ReplyDeleteThis is an interesting piece of street art. Often so controversial.
