A Beached Whale in the Forest

Argentinean sculptor Adrián Villar Rojas creates enormous sculptural works that seem like remnants of a science fiction movie set, or bizarre moments from a surreal dream. One of my favorite pieces is My Family Dead (2009), in which he created a life-size blue whale in the woods outside Ushuaia, Argentina. The beached cetacean is pockmarked with tree stumps, making me wonder if it’s being slowly claimed by the forest or perhaps it’s a native resident. Beautiful.

This amazing video is an advertisement for NTT Docomo’s Touch Wood SH-08C wooden-encased phone. It features a wooden ball that simply relies on the forces of gravity to carry it down the extensive xylophone as it plays Bach’s Cantata 147.

Enjoy!
