With posts on giant sculptures of moose, horses, hands etc you have come to think of OTN as the place where big is always better. Here to fly in the face of all that sculptural showing off is the smallest reproduction of the Mona Lisa ever. The tree-trunk-kind-of-thing you can see is a human hair the painting 25,000 times smaller than the one in the Louvre. The method? Heating a needle on an atomic-force microscope. But you knew that.
It doesn't really matter where you are in the world there is always a Mona Lisa to be seen. This one is on the cover of a satellite dish in Berlin. Many people cover their receivers to give a bit of colour to the neighborhood. The images include football team logos, holiday snaps, pics of the kids, sunsets, waves and the Mona Lisa in this case complete with Turkish moustache.
Foxton makes a bid for tourist pics with a double sided hole-in-the-head-stick-your-face-in photo opp feature. In a rare twist on the usual art/sport hierarchy it's the art side that faces the road.
