Lady in the Lake

This is a sculpture in Stockholm. The hand, which always points at Jupiter, came first and the nose was added a year later. The sculptor says that next year’s body part will reveal the subject’s gender.

    If the gender hasn’t been revealed, then why is it titled “Lady of the Lake”?

    Holy cyborgpirate Jesus! That’s one big nose!

    Err – someone doesn’t know their astronomy. The finger doesn’t “always point at Jupiter.” In fact, it’s pretty rare if the finger ever points at Jupiter. Maybe the article meant “points at Jupiter on a particular day.”

    Maybe there’s a statue of the god Jupiter to the right of the frame? You don’t know!

    This thing has got to be a guy. Can you imagine a woman with a nose like that?

    ..uuh yeah! Hard to guess what it’s going to be…
    They’re hardly gonna accept a penis sticking out of the water, and vaginas just ain’t that pointy (or ‘she’ would be legless)

    UH I KNOW!!! It’s going to be a BELLYBUTTON!
    -if it’s hairy, it’s a man
    -if it’s not hairy. it’s a woman
    -an if it’s sticking out she’s pregnant!

    Stockholm is a beautiful city with a wonderful interplay between the built and natural environment. The buildings all complement each other and create a sense of unity. This eyesore is just plain stupid, and sullies the surrounding environment. Lame.

    They removed the installation 2005 or so. And the nose and the finger were afloat, moving around, chained to the bottom.
