Panorama for the springtime scarecrows at work

            Traffic passing by may suppose there is a group effort to work this farmland. But after passing two or three times the driver may realize the figures are not moving or changing their clothing. For pedestrians and people on bikes, the slower speed allows a closer look. So the fact that these figures are convincingly realistic scarecrows dawns on the rider or walker pretty quickly. Then next thought is then, "how imaginative; who could have done this and for what purpose"?

The rachet of capitalism rewards faster pace, bigger scale, and larger market share. So people may find themselves focused on gainful efficiencies more and more. They have less time to daydream, reflect, or look for poetic ironies and other playful expressions that are not economically motivated. In other words, the value of light-hearted playfulness becomes more and more precious as times seem to be more and more serious and profit-oriented. So this large-scale installation by an art-lover and creator (or group of such-minded people) is all the more delightful to run into.
