The Demure du Chaos

September 14, 2006 6:54 AM

The Demure du Chaos (french language) in Lyon looks like something in between a junkyard, a museum, a work of modern art, a manufactured tourist attraction and a black hole of attention grabbin' for his allegedly wealthy, outofordinary owner ; who just got a €200000 fine from a Lyon court for violating town planning laws ( here a direct link to a photoset of DdC). How could a neighbor possibly be pissed by that ?

OMG imagine that next door. I think I would rather see a car up on blocks.

Looks like the guy who put this together was going for 1 part haunted house, 1 part junkyard and 1 part political statement (what with pictures of Osama, Ahmadinejad, etc.), and kind of failed on all 3 counts. He seems to be successful at self-promotion, though.

Cheese-eating "art" monkeys. I bet they fling poo, too.

Indeed, who could complain about the "Pool of Blood"?

I love it too--I have to see it in real life, but it looks too a little like one of those studio tours, where explosions or floods and stuff happen as the trolleys go by.

It's cool, but I wouldn't want to be the neighbor.

But would you have wanted to be his neighbor?
