Stones in French Forest Hide Spacecraft

In an attempt to reflect the notion of transparency, French artist Michel de Broin looked to the woods. Finding a large stone deep in the forest of Vosges in France he decided to fix fragments of mirror to the unruly contours, which in turn reflected the natural surroundings while completely hiding the stone.

The effects of the reflections present an altogether ethereal habitat or resembles, what those of us who watch way too many Sci-fi movies would describe as, a hidden spacecraft. In any event, this incredible work of art created from nothing but mirror, glue, cement and stone really is something extraordinary.

What a marvelous piece of art. It is non-invasive, intelligent and brilliantly executed. Bravo. if there were art half this good in the states it would probably still be ignored.
