Installations are one of the most expressive types of creativity. Especially in the modern world, full of bad taste and repetitive pigs, pouring plagiarism. In such an environment, the best thing is to make a selection of wonderful installations according to the version of some art site.

1. Banksy's phone booth.

To make a successful parody of the British authorities' cancellation of the classic red London telephone booths, an unknown British guerrilla designer-installer Banksy (Banksy) decided to punch this particular booth with an ax. (photo above)

2. Transformer in real life, Reymond's version.

One of the most famous works of the French artist Guillaume reymond is this series of performances, called "", has collected many different vehicles, setting them on the road according to their own, surprisingly accurate choreographic outline, and creating the illusion of a living heavenly huge transforming robot.

3. Working with branches and twigs from Dougherty's.

4. Havel's Tunnel House.

Dan havel (Dan Havel) and Dean Ruck (Dean Ruck) Houston artists created something out of the tunnels that they named. Using planks from the outside of the house, they created a funnel-shaped tunnel between the two houses, opening a small hole into the adjoining backyard. It is likely that this is a very successful example of a self-beloved test of passing through a black hole without the final effect in the form of dissolving oneself to quantum insignificance.

5. Ice sculptures of melting people from Azevedo's.

Brazilian artist Nele azevedo (Nele Azevedo) created hundreds of seated human figures out of ice. The installation lasted until the last man melted in the heat of the day.

Drinking in the name of art … It's better not to think of a reason! With this "interactive installation" by Hannes broecker (Hanne Broker), the museum that hosted the exhibition and installation presentation, invites visitors to walk up to the containers of booze and take a sip or two.

8. The building is entirely made of Salcedo's chairs.

This stunning creation was created by a Colombian sculptor Doris salcedo (Doris Salsedo) for the International Exhibition of the Biennale in Istanbul in 2003. She used more than 1,550 chairs crammed into the empty space between the two buildings.

9. Verdonck's giant nest.

Belgian artist Benjamin verdonck (Benjamin Verdonk) created a huge nest on the tower, which even briefly lasted there as an installation called "The Great Swallow" ("Great Swallow").

10. Panels of streaming traffic Lerner's.

This is an interactive art installation in Munich by authorship Markus Lerner (Markus Lerner) for Osram, Germany. Interactive panels respond to streaming traffic on a nearby highway. It is interesting to see how the flows of traffic that inspired the author resulted in such an installation, but the reaction of motorists who use the track along which these panels are installed does not seem to react very much to the beauty nearby. You can see the installation in action in this video:
