5/11/2004: Bird's nest performance art
 It's Belgium today, and this artist is performing a one-man stage show on a specially built "nest" 30 metres up a Brussels office block.  Benjamin Verdonck is performing The Great Swallow on his "stage" attached to the Anspach building. In the play, Verdonck tells the story of a man who comes, sees, talks and, in an attempt to embrace his audience, falls. That's pretty cool. |

That's one of the most well built nests I've ever seen.

30m is too low to parachute from.. and I think that if he bungied (budgied? .. hah!) down from that far out from the building that he'd smack into a window pretty hard....
so... uhhh.. ... how does he fall? |

I'd like to see the 'owner' of the nest fly down and grab him in her talons and fly off with him screaming!! That would be art!

Whenever I see stuff like this I always wonder who's paying for it.

Yeah! Evidently he's breeding a race of giant killer birds and feeding people to them! And you suckers thought the guy was acting...

First thing I thought of when I saw this? If I worked in the office behind the nest, I wouldn't get sh|t done all day!
Of course, if I wasn't at work right now, I'd probably have a different reaction. But then, maybe not! The mind boggles. |

"Benjamin Verdonck is performing The Great Swallow on his "stage"
Is it the nest of an African Swallow? Inquiring minds want to know! |
