the Pansy Project
Thanks to my friend Sarah for sending this, the Pansy project.
The Pansy Project from Pixelbrix on Vimeo.
“Artist Paul Harfleet plants pansies at the site of homophobic abuse. Each location is photographed and named after the abuse received. The Pansy Project has many incarnations; small scale unmarked individual plantings, free pansy ‘Hand Outs’ where the artist speaks to passersby about the project, installations of thousands of plants at the site of homophobia and exhibtions of the photographs the artist has made over the last five years. The Pansy Project has featured in festivals and exhibitions around the world and recently won a Gold Medal at the RHS Hampton Court Flower Show 2010. The pansy left entitled ‘Beaten!’ Belfast Bus Station, was planted as part of the Outburst Queer Arts Festival in Belfast.”
