Monument for a feeling #3

In a few thousand years the place where I sit now will be covered under kilometers of ice. There's two men of my age walking there, across the endless glacier. One of them suddenly stops, staring at the snow under his feet. His companion asks him, "What is it?" "Nothing", he says and points his finger to the ground. "I think Helsinki is somewhere down there".

Re-monument

Aigars Bikse made this every-two-minutes inflatable Lenin ("Idealist. Two minutes cycle of historical justice") in the place where the central Lenin of Riga was until 1991.
Here the original at 1991: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=nIL6mX868G4#t=2578

Munument-space

When we where discussing about what does a monument do with the space my example was the stone in a place where a cameraman was shot from a near by hill. I just found a video of that moment (1991). Btw I heard that there might be only to documentaries (including this) where a cameraman is killed during shooting.

Can't see the hill in the picture but anyway...

there are 5 of these kind around that hill, for each person for the same reason.

Hidrogenum

I saw this man...

who looked super scary and smelled like hydrogen (it starts to evaporate from the skin when a certain amount of alcohol is reached in blood) and had that blue balloon connected to his jacket.

Outside, next to the shop where the picture was taken, there is this podium...

Every day I pass trough this center of Kontula and almost every time I see wasted, middle-aged people hanging/lying/throwing up around the karaoke bars. Pub Paris is the best I think. I should still go to the Archive for more information about this place and to visit Pub Paris for once, but for now I think to work with this topic and/or area and/or character.
