"I am quite certain in my heart of hearts that modern music and modern art is not a conspiracy, but is a form of truth and integrity for those who practise it honestly, decently and with all their being" - Michael Tippett
Project 365: #66
This was on my trip to town the other day, but I couldn't include them with anything else, as they symbolize Hannover. These are the Nanas by Niki de Saint Phalle, created in 1974, beside the Leine River. You can buy mini-Nanas at all the curio or gift shops in town. They originally caused a local outcry, but have become celebrated in Hannover, and everyone seems to know them. I was unsure about them initially, but have begun to enjoy them more and more, appreciating the essence of freedom and rights in Hannover. They certainly brighten up the landscape, especially in winter, and juxtapose the historical buildings, giving you something to think about.
