An eight-story-tall artistic representation of an elephant has been inflated and is hovering in one of Moscow’s popular parks. The artist behind the sculpture is getting ready to take it to the Burning Man festival in August.
Sun (creativity, creative self-expression) conjunct Echeclus (abstract, conceptual, abstract art, conceptual theories) conjunct Gǃkúnǁ’hòmdímà (aardvarks, pythons, elephants, antelope, totem meditation) sextile Thereus (object oriented).
Slonik (the Russian for ‘little elephant’) is green, inflatable and tall. At 23 meters, it rivals the height of a typical Moscow multi-story apartment building. Posed as though rearing up, with its hooves upraised and trunk pointing straight up, the figure aims to attract attention to the inhumane treatment of elephants in the wild.
This elephant is far from Africa or India and has been on display in
Moscow’s Kuzminki partk. The artist behind the project, Mikhail
Tsaturyan, is aiming at a different audience: he wants to bring the
Slonik to Nevada’s Black Rock Desert, to take part in the world’s most
famous annual art event, the Burning Man.
