Wow, that's quite a lot of neon you found, Heidi! I thought it looked like a foot. It would be interesting to know the story behind this work of art. A great find this week! :)

... omg, this week I spent a lot of hours outside in cold, windy evenings, hunting for good neon lights. But I was not successful .... so I googled for companies, producing or fixing this kind of lights. And: I found a small company, here in Berlin ! On their web-site was written about this installation "Leda&Swan". It was built 20 years ago by a group of light-artists, but destroyed by a storm some years ago. And now this small company fixed it !
- I never before heard about this piece of modern art !
So I went to this hotel (it's written: "Installation in front of the hotel") .... but didn't found it.
At last I asked the security boys - they start laughing - and showed the right place ....
it's breathtaking .... this statue is very big; placed in the hotel's empty beer garden
(closed during winter), not to be seen from the street, like a little secret ... alone with snow and winter trees ..... and me and my tripod.
