Water-Spraying Sculptures

This Prank-Inspired Art Sculpture Scares Anyone Who Disobeys the Rules

— September 28, 2015 — Unique
Norwegian artist Erik Pirolt created this water-spraying art sculpture that cleverly fools anyone who doesn't obey one simple rule.

The sculpture consists of a brown bust of a human figure encased inside a glass box that brilliantly features a small sign that reads: "Warning: Do Not Look Into The Eyes." Anyone who doesn't obey this simple command, and stares too long into the figure's face, is met with a sudden blast of water from the sculpture's eyes. Always good for a laugh, this prank-inspired water spraying art is able cause a number of hilarious reactions from unwitting participants ranging from mild irritation to sudden outright panic.

Luckily for these disobeying museum attendees, the glass box stops the water short from soaking them from head to toe for their unruly behavior.
