Mike Ross is an Argentine conceptual artist who likes to play with space with many of his works on display in public places. This ladder and window piece went on display at the Spiral Garden in Tokyo, Japan, last year where it remains. Take my Lightening but dont steal my Thunder by Alex Chinneck. Built via the hands of 100 people and installed carefully over four days, Alex’s illusion creates the impression that the roof of Covent Garden Market is literally hovering freestyle above our heads, floating. As if its upper portion has broken away from its stone base to float in mid air 108 Likes 7 Shares
