An unusual event is held annually in London to support the heroes of the British army. The founders of the Charitable Foundation offer everyone to buy eggs in khaki packaging, 15 pence of the cost of each purchase is sent to help the military. However, this year a real surprise awaits all buyers: the Challenger II tank, assembled from 5016 cardboard boxes, into which eggs were packed, will be demonstrated at the event!
The author of the amazing creation is British Stuart Murdoch, a former creator of special effects for films. In addition to 5,000 packages, it took him 10,000 nails, 26 liters of glue, 15 liters of paint, 80 sq. M. To create this masterpiece. m of metal structures and … 5,013 paper clips. The "sculptor" himself is surprised that it occurred to someone to count all the "building materials" spent by his team of four people in three weeks to make a life-size tank.
It is symbolic that the tank is made of eco-friendly materials and is absolutely harmless. Perhaps, in this way, Stuart Murdoch wanted to draw attention not only to the problems of military personnel, but also to military conflicts as such. Weapons, violence, wars are not capable of making humanity happy. It is much better to admire such tanks in the exhibition halls, and not to prove your case with their help. Similar thoughts are close to the French photographer François Robert. In his workshop, this artist uses human bones to create images of weapons, tanks, explosions and other symbols of danger and death.
