Skopje Fengshui Fountain

This piece is about what I see in Skopje - water fountains, dolls at the bazaar market, sculptural objects on the street and in the park, bee boxes, abandoned buildings with rebars sticking out, casinos, young couples with babies, dogs lying in the middle of the road, Skopje's version of Arc de Triomphe, etc. In this installation with concrete structures and plastic toys, quirky things in Skopje interact with each other and thus become even more bizarre.

​By the way, in Chinese households or indoor spaces, a water fountain has an auspicious connotation, symbolizing the running of life, bringing good luck and fortune. ​

Photos I took of the actual Skopje, which form the Vardar River in the background of the installation:
