New art at incinerator
Nicked this photo off Facebook. Someone has suspended this piece between the smokestacks of the old Des Carrières incinerator. I’m seeing different views of this piece posted on social media.

I noticed it yesterday coming south on Normanville, Pretty impressive! From street level it’s hard to see what it is!

Anyway here’s the shot I got. I’ve been on top of those smokestacks, this installation is an impressive feat.

It’s like a puzzle trying to imagine the ways they could have achieved this. It must have been very difficult, even with 2 or more people, given how the ladders are caged in.

I’m thinking improvised pulley system and a lot of work with carbiners. I’m curious what was used to suspend the sign.
If this is who I think it is I wonder if they put up a zip line first then hung the sign just for fun. Otherwise, I imagine it’s basically rapelling gear.
