We have already talked about the role insects can play in contemporary art in the article about the Debug art project, a series of paintings created by ants, ladybugs and other bugs. However, in addition to these centipedes, others wake up in the spring. Less pleasant, but no less talented. Fly fun is a collection of humorous pictures about life … the most ordinary flies.
Unfortunately, the author of the "fly fuss" remained unknown. Although there may have been several authors, because the idea is simple and in the literal sense of the word, it flies in the air. However, the flies from the pictures below are no longer destined to fly.
How to call this creativity - a misunderstanding, a joke of humor, self-indulgence, or simply stupidity - it's up to you. But as for me, the Fly fun project is at least funny and makes you smile. If you don't think about the fact that the authors had to fiddle with so many disgusting dead flies …

All the fuss and trinkets: a vanitas installation by Adad Hanna
The 40-year-old author of the installation “Everything is Vanity (Version Without a Mirror)”, Adad Hannah, decided to remind art connoisseurs of a work of more than a century ago. Back in 1892, the young American Charles Alan Gilbert created an optical illusion about the vanity of female beauty. His painting depicted a lady admiring her own reflection in the mirror. But the irony was that the whole picture made up a skull - the central image of works in the genre of vanitas (translated from Latin as "vanity")
