Whenever you’re walking through the financial district of a city, you always seem to happen upon some strange corporate art that have you thinking “what the hell is the purpose of these awkward artifacts?” Many of them are just downright bizarre and seem to have no reference point to anything existing on this earth.
Above are a collection of sculptures found around the world, though many of them in Europe (surprise), that range from the inappropriately hilarious to the downright demented.
My favourite of these awkward artifacts would have to be the businessman with his head lodged into a marble wall. Good luck deciphering these awkward artifacts, you’ll need it.
