Quote from the article:
A deputy went out and found four life-sized cardboard cutouts lined up, resembling the classic Evolution of Man series. Only in this version, a fourth figure stood upright, pointing a handgun at the others. The deputy took the cutouts down and threw them away. If the mystery guerilla artist was trying to make a public statement, this one was short-lived. Or was it? Thanks to the Internet, and with a little help from the media, more than just the rush-hour commuters were exposed to the artists' message, whatever it was. When local news outlets posted photos of the cutouts, commenters flooded the websites with their own interpretation of the artwork. "We spent several million years evolving only to turn around and kill each other," one commenter posted on St. Petersburg Times' site, tampabay.com. "The gun is symbolic, the weapon could be any." |
