What would you do with £15,000? Maybe you'd put it towards a deposit or a mega round-the-world trip. Or, if you were an artist like Illma Gore1, maybe you'd spunk2 the whole lot on Louis Vuitton bags which you could then construct into a bog3.
你会怎样花费15000英镑(约合13万人民币)?也许你会存起来,或者准备一次盛大的环球旅行?又或者,你会和设计师Illma Gore一样,也许拿所有钱买下LV的包包,然后将其改造成马桶。
Illma has just created a fully-functioning golden toilet from the iconic LV printed leather. ‘I wondered what 15k of authentic4 Louis Vuitton bags looked like as a fully functional5 toilet, so I made this.’
Illma创造了一个全功能金马桶,用LV经典花样的皮饰来装饰,“我一直很想知道如果用正版LV的包包来装饰全功能型马桶是一种什么样的感觉,所以我就做了这个。”
She says that she loved the idea of what it felt like to cut up a £1,530 bag. ‘The urge to destroy is just the same as the creative urge,’ she tells Dazed.
她说,她喜欢这个主意,能够体会切开价值1530英镑的包的感觉。“毁灭的欲望和就创作冲动一样。”在接受Dazed采访时她说道。
The cheeky toilet, which she made in three months, has art precedents6. The toilet was, until September, installed in the Solomon R. Guggenheim Museum in New York.
这个厚重的马桶耗费了她三个月的时间才制作而成,绝对算是艺术界的先例。9月份,该厕所已经在纽约古根海姆博物馆安装完毕。
