The careless behavior of pedestrians and drivers on the road leads to the fact that roadside posts, fences and trees become a kind of memorials, decorated with wreaths, flowers and ribbons in memory of those who became victims of an accident at this very place. For some, such signs serve as a warning about danger, someone does not pay attention to these peculiar "decorations" or even considers them inappropriate, and the studio Carmichael collective from Minneapolis on this topic there is an original humorous art project called Bug Memorials … This humorous art project is presented in the form of a street installation, miniature memorials installed in those places where pranksters discovered dead insects. In particular, large beetles that have become victims of cars, trams, bicycles, buses. Some were smashed against the windshield of a racing vehicle, others were hit by the wheels of motorcycles or scooters, or received other injuries incompatible with life.
Carmichael Collective's Bug Memorials team members argue that if you look closely, you will notice that the streets of the city are literally littered with the corpses of dead bugs. And their comic memorial installations are precisely aimed at making passers-by be more attentive and more often look not only straight ahead, but also at their feet and to the sides, and sometimes raise their eyes to the sky. There are so many interesting things happening around, and we either do not notice all this at all, or we pay attention when it is already too late. More information about this and other projects of the creative team - on the website of the Carmichael Collective company.

Fashion on the verge of madness: How in the 19th century, ladies adorned themselves with stuffed birds and dead insects
History remembers many extravagant and even provocative turns of European fashion, but what happened at the end of the 19th century causes both bewilderment and indignation, and even disgust in some.
