Comment | If you want to see something batshit crazy, book tickets for Sharmanka. You’ve never seen anything like it before, and never will again.
There was a sculptor who grew up in the Soviet Union then moved to Scotland. He built moving mechanical sculptures out of scrap metal – old hospital beds, bird cages, shopping trolleys etc.
Sharmanka is an hour long exhibition of his machines. You’re in a dark room. One sculpture is lit up by colourful lights, starts moving and music plays for a minute. Then the room goes dark and another one lights up. It’s an hour of walking around watching the machines, and it’s batshit crazy in the best possible way. |
