Photographer Mark O’Neill spent a lot of time and effort creating a series of photographs showing a ghostly collection of monuments in the former Yugoslav territories. These lonely sculptures in the middle of the landscapes of the “broken dream” recall the monuments of ancient civilization buried in the sands of time. Each of them is trying to tell the story of their past in their own unique language. About wartime events that are too painful to remember, and too terrible to forget.

These sculptures seem earthly and alien at the same time. They are bizarre and at the same time extremely understandable. Bulky, angular, threatening to fall on you at any moment. Some, it seems, had long had to soar into the night sky and dissolve into space, but their depressing heaviness became their enemy.

Not so long ago, the Kansas City Zoo organized a walk for three Humboldt Penguins to a nearby Nelson-Atkins art gallery. The charming Bubbles, Maggie and Berkeley stormed the collection of Impressionist masterpieces. The head of the zoo, Randy Wisthoff, said that he and his staff are constantly looking for a way to enrich the lives of their wards and dispel their sadness. The fact is that animals are madly bored without visitors and regular communication.

Of course, both institutions could not help but capture the meeting of wonderful flightless birds and high art. The director of the museum, in turn, noted that the birds, in her opinion, liked Caravaggio much more than Monet. Although she expected a completely different effect and put on Monet with his beautiful water lilies in cool colors. In addition, the penguins who arrived at the zoo from Peru, perked up and amused when they heard Spanish speech in the museum. Their “native language” is spoken here by Juliana Zugazagoitia – head of the museum.
