no joke

In downtown Halifax, there is an empty lot the size of one city block, that used to hold the old newspaper building. Now it sits, abandoned and decrepit, awaiting a decision on the construction of a new convention centre. In the meantime, it has become the occasional home of outdoor art installations. The most recent of these has seen the entire lot strewn with "bodies".

According to the artist, it represents "a frozen, fenced-in population, at once ambiguous, abstract, wondrous".
