The Person Who Made This Scares Me a Little

By: Laurie | February 14th, 2008

beckham-madrid.jpgIf the person who made this sculpture did it tongue in cheek? I’ll be the first to laugh.

If he/she was serious and sincere, though? To be honest, the thought leaves me a little frightened.

Either way? This is just a little…bizarre.

These photos came to me from Martha, formerly* of Italy Offside, who got them from her brother from an art show in Madrid. The email title was, “Sign #216 the end is near.”

I can’t say I necessarily disagree with that conclusion.

*unless you guys can convince her to stay.

    What?! She’s gone for good? The Calcio blog said she was “just taking some time off.”

    Martha, come back! We need Serie A news! We need WAGS!

    B-t-w, the sculpture is creepy.

    It’s good that the statue has a name on the back of its…armor? It looks nothing like him. (Is it supposed to be from that Pepsi ad?)

    It looks like it, Lisa: http://youtube.com/watch?v=FE4nUc8rFTo . All those Pepsi ads for the World Cup were fun, much as I loath advertising of course. Look for all the other players up until the end. Fun. Ehem, but yes, of course it means that the end is near…

    Ah, yes. I thought this looked familiar. Now i’m a little less freaked out by the sculpture. :-)

    This is a sculpture take off of the Pepsi ad w/ the big stars as gladiators. Not that creepy, i guess the sculptor just really liked becks in leather?
