MYSTIC
Live Steam Shift Whistle
Bristol, United Kingdom
Tuazon's striking, monolithic sculpture playfully questions the relationship between Bristol's residents and one of the city's most iconic public spaces. The work, formed of a 20 foot steel and concrete fire pit, doubles as a barbecue grill. The sculpture, which takes inspiration from the tradition of architectural follies in landscape parks, is a monument to the people's use of the site. It harks back to an ancient tradition of communal sharing, eating and shelter by firelight.
