Considering that the stop for the sculpture "Big Clay #4" is not its first, it’s amazing how universally it has filled the new space of the embankment. However, there are few vantage points from which the object organically fits into the environment. I counted only three, all from the opposite side of the shore. I’m sharing them with you.
Just like in model photography, every Instagram diva knows that the face will turn into something unseemly if shot from a low angle with the distance of an outstretched arm. The photo will present you with a gloomy cloud.
But that’s all poetry. The real action is on the PR lawn, where, it seems to me, such a striking object was placed primarily to draw attention to the opening of GES-2. After standing with a tripod for half an hour near the sculpture, all dialogues are dedicated only to it. Meanwhile, no one seems to criticize the magnificent (not ironically) blue pipes anymore. The same goes for the monument — it will be discussed, and then forgotten, once the goal is achieved and it’s moved to its next stop.
