Monsters cannot be announced. One cannot say: “Here are our monsters,” without immediately turning the monsters into pets.
~ Jacques Derrida (quotation reblogged from raynotbradbury)

They’re coming to take us away, haha.
Free translation of the text on red: “There are many of us living here and we wonder aloud: oh, these magic tricks, how do they fly seeing that we arrive more and more sparsely, but again and again we exit and after all this time we still know no spaces and who would figure but there are less and less of us.”
The arms seem long…
This statue has been here at least for 20 years.
Inscriptions below: “What you wish is what you get.” “The meaning of life is in not knowing.” A friend planted these bamboos.
Hehe. Okay, Joey. This reminds me of my favourite fish canteen on Slovenian coast and their menu in Italian which claims they offer ‘piovra’ instead of ‘polpo’ for octopus, and amore cracks up every time and says piovra is something out of the Jules Verne book.
Thanks, Lex. The sea dwellers are a recent addition, I believe, the rest I already saw on my previous visits. There is a very cool street art free tour of Ljubljana and I took it. 🙂
A fantastic selection in more ways than one. I’m drawn to the sea-themed house too – especially the octopus. I’ve heard that they are very intelligent creatures.
These murals take street art to a whole new level!! I like the last one best, but I’d rather not encounter any of these on my next swim!!
However it’s the 4th photo with the statue that gave me the most amusement because of the red butt in the bottom right. We’ve just been mooned!
A monstrous post! What incredible art in that last photo.

Great collection! I call monsters on the last mural. When they’re that big, they’re monsters!

The last photo is quite “monsterous”. I wonder how it looks by night …

Thanks, Awa. Eyes should have reflectors. 😀 I was there as it was getting dark, but I don’t think it there was any special effects showing.
