Balloon Tank

Hans Hemmert made this beautiful tank out of balloons. He also creates other sculptures and installations using balloons. I love the idea of taking something so common and making art out of it. It reminds me of a post on Future Shipwreck about a party where kids had built tents in and around their home as part of the celebration. One tent was made out of balloons, and it looked amazing. Having never gone to art school, I often romanticize what it must be like to live for a few years with your only goal being to make art and push your creativity.

Thanks for the shout out!
That tank is amazing. Someone should take it to Tiananmen Square and shoot a reenactment of that famous tank vs. man scene.
Your new blog looks awesome! I love the layout. I see everything in Cinemascope aspect ratios.
