Superlambanana is a bright yellow sculpture located in
Liverpool (the UK), Weighing almost eight tons and standing at 17 feet tall, it is intended to be a cross between a banana and a lamb and was designed by
Japanese artist Taro Chiezo. In 2008, as part of Liverpool's year-long position as
European Capital of Culture, 125 individually designed miniature replicas were created.
I wonder... What do the Superlambananas eat?
That is an original 'S'!
ReplyDeleteI had thought of smurfs, but a superlambanana is great, too!
I think the superlambanana does not eat part of him/herself but he/she 'eats' a nice view and air.
That makes sense :)
Delete(By the way: your Smurfs arrived,and the answer is in the way!)
Yay! :o)
DeleteI see the lamb, and a banana shape, but where is the yellow in the postcard? Maui Jungalow
ReplyDeleteBecause this isn't the big yellow original, but one of the miniature replicas. These were individually designed and each one is different.
DeleteA totally unique S-post and postcard! Thanks for brightening my day :)

DeleteCette œuvre de Taro Chiezo me fait penser à un savant mélange de Gustav Klimt et de Niki de Saint Phalle !
ReplyDeleteDeux artistes que j'aime aussi :)
DeleteWhat an interesting statue. I don't know what it eats, but I find myself wanting to sing, "Banana-fana fo famba..."

DeleteMy family is always on the lookout for oddities like this, in person or on a postcard. Thank you for sharing this delightful image.
ReplyDeleteImagine visiting Liverpool and looking for the 125 superlambananas... :)
DeleteThe coolest S I've come across ever! I visited Liverpool three years ago...didn't spot him. Shame!
ReplyDeleteBananas and lamb are off the menu I reckon---or we'll be treading into cannibal territory. No?

I was in Liverpool in 2012, and I saw some of them. But not the big, original one, alas.
DeleteLol, a modern folk creature... lambanana is fun to say :D

It is. It was funny to find it in the mailbox.
DeleteWonderful choice for S! I learnt something more about Superlambana because I had to google to know what it is!!
ReplyDeleteShubhangi @ The Little Princess
I had too, when I received the postcard :)
DeleteInteresting! I was still in the UK when that was built but I don't remember hearing anything about it. If I ever go back to the UK I'll go and check it out. :D
ReplyDelete(I can't believe there's only 1 more week of A-Z to go!)
Here's my "S" post :) http://nataliewestgate.com/2017/04/surprise-secret-diary-of-a-serial-killer
I guess they are still there. At least, some of them.
DeletePerhaps they find Mini-sheep-peels appealing. :)

DeleteI have never thought about what they might eat but I suspect they might snaffle a pigeon or a seagull when they land on their noses!
ReplyDeleteI have the magnet you sent me on the fridge... it doesn't seem to eat anything from there!
