While on a ferry, I found this place in Venice where a row of old sheds was painted to create a "kids city".
I imagined that it was made by some kids and I was really delighted by the creative spirit that it showed.
It reminded me of the way I and my friends used to play where we were kids, and there was no computers
or playstations - but we had lots of fantasy and a lot of old decaying barracks that we would use to imagine
our city, or as a set for our "battles", et c.
So it was sad for me to find out that it wasn't a kids' work, but the artwork of an artist, called Uwe Jaentsch,
which did this for the Biennale of Arts of Venice. Oh well, it was too good to be true
Here's a global view of the place, and you can see the first "houses": Firemen Station, Lotto shop (sports), Adidas shop, Spar Supermarket, McDonald's (could it be missing? ) :
#1
Here's Toyota shop, the Pharmacy, and Esso gas station - the artist's house amongst them:
#2
And finally, Banco di Sicilia (a bank), Police Station, and the Hospital:
#3
