Fiberglass ANTS









Giant fiberglass ants overtake government building 

"Artist Rafael Gomez Barros covered the building with 1,300 large fiberglass ants as a symbol: the ants represent those who were displaced due to the ongoing arms conflict in Colombia. He calls it Casa Tomada or House Taken Over which was inspired by a tale from Julio Cortázar. The story is of a brother and sister who live alone in an ancestral home and practically shut themselves in it until, one day, mysterious intruders force them out of their own house."

Creepy & Genius!
