High End Illusion ...

I'm pretty sure you've seen this Prada art installation before since it was assembled in Marfa, Texas back in 2005 by German artists Elmgreen & Dragset. But I thought this hilarious illusion/oasis would make for a fun Monday workday re-visit. Especially since I used to work for Prada, this whole thing really hits the funny bone. This installation has been shot by many a photographer but I really like how Maison Gray caught the shop in great lighting above and with great irony below. That rolling rack cracks me up.

    Ha! Where have I been and how have I not seen this before? Hilarious! And to actually think that Prada would have things on sale...

    I would have loved to discover something like this as I was driving cross country. It's brilliant.

    This is PERFECT. I have seen it, but still never really understood why? I'll have to google.

    i never saw these either! funny enough, these remind me of the only and only starbucks on the island of mykonos. it was pretty much in the middle of a field like this and the locals were not fans. so random!
