Bizarre Inventions That Somehow Got the Green Light

5. One Very Interesting Playground

You most likely won't notice straight away that these vibrant sculptures not only deviate from the typical form of baby and adult but also wonderfully bedecked in neon mismatching hair colours. No, instead you will almost certainly find that they seem to all be in exactly the same and somewhat strange poses of urinating in a rainbow of colours. This strange portrayal questions accepted artistic and theatrical standards and invites both entertainment and unease. Should the colourful urine not be unusual enough, you should definitely be shocked by the knowledge that you are supposed to frolic gleefully under their awning. The installation's lighthearted yet inappropriate character begs issues about what is suitable in public places—especially those meant for children. The unusual connotation of the urinating neon child statue is a little bit off-putting and quite indecent, even if the colours are absolutely fun and brilliant. This mix of innocence and suggestive images produces a unique commentary on society expectations and the limits of artistic expression, therefore allowing spectators to consider the motive behind such provocative creations.
