Strange Sculptures from All Over the World

Monday, January 30th, 2012

There is something breathtaking and quite remarkable about sculptures and if you get your internet through places like http://www.satellitestarinternet.com/ and do some real browsing, then you know what we mean. Some of these sculptures are inspiring, some are scary and some are downright strange – but they make us think and they dazzle us with both their creativity and imagination. Below, you will find a short list of some of the most strange and awe-inspiring sculptures from all over the world.

1. The Giant Tap (Tecnopark Wintertur, Switzerland)
It may look, to you, like a bronze tap is just hovering in midair as a torrent of water pours from it down into the ground. However, upon closer inspection, one can see that the shaft of water is, in fact, solid and suspending the tap in the air creating a marvelous illusion.

2. Vomiting Fountain Sculpture (London, UK)
This odd construction features a stone vaguely shaped like a man with a sculpted human head attached. The mouth on the head is open and water issues forth creating the illusion that the sculpture is constantly vomiting water endlessly.

3. Skeletons In Love (Nong Khai, N.E. Thailand)
Perhaps the most shocking of the three sculptures on this list; it features two skeletons sitting together on a bench, enjoying an embrace. One can’t help but think back to the remains of those discovered at Pompeii – a sculpture embodying both love and a tragic sense of finality.
