Nimis

This post features 38 pictures on the biggest piece of art I have photographed so far. It is called Nimis (Latin for "too much") and can be found on a beach in Kullaberg nature reserve. It's built out of wood and it's estimated to weight about 70 tons. The history behind this work is long and I'll only give a brief retelling of it here. The construction of it was started in 1980 by the artist Lars Vilks. He didn't bother to obtain any permission from the local government to build it so once they found out about it, they started the legal work to get it removed. But after a lot of legal filibustering by the people that want to preserve the work, they seems to have given up on the idea. The work is still being worked on by various people and parts of the construction has been rebuilt during the years because of damage dealt to it by storms and arsonists. All my pictures were shoot on the same summer day this year.
