TumbleWorld: Houses In Motion - 1 ( w this image 1 Million Views Reached !!! - Thank You Everyone !!! )
A nearby former mansion, tumbled and splintered into multiple, simultaneous planes. A millennial Cubist view, a quantum view of many possibilities or potentials co-existenting all at once.
Note the life size bronze of a deer toward the upper right. The James Cooper mansion ( this house ) was bought from the Knights of Columbus by a condo developer who was respectful of the heritage of the house so they picked it up and moved it to be almost flush to the street. Veritably, a 'house in motion'. In the space vacated by the mansion, they put up a 32 storey condo tower. Not all developers are as respectful of heritage buildings or the neighbourhoods they build in. We got lucky. The deer was added as a sculpture along with two wolves and a couple of fawns around the front of the property. Indeed, the deer IS upside down, face down, tail up, mounted on a slab of polished metal. It's a great touch.
The title is inspired by a Talking Heads' song, "Houses in Motion". Here the house, indeed, seems to be 'in motion'. A state of transition? Transmutation? Transubstantiation? With David Bryne's multi-dimensional lyrics it's anyone's guess what the song might mean, but that might just be his point ... it can be many things at the same time. As he once said, "Stop Making Sense".
