A few days ago the Diari showed the bad image of a sculpture placed a few years ago next to the fishermen’s brotherhood and that was usually used by some to leave garbage in the environment, almost as a container.
That sculpture that cost 50,000 euros and that nevertheless remained soulless, very hidden and without any type of pedestal, lighting or explanatory ceiling that would give it value and make it understandable, was already criticized at the time for its cost and aesthetics.
But seeing it surrounded by garbage has generated complaints from those who ask that, since it is there, it at least be respected. Or that the location be changed for greater visibility or to give it greater relevance.
A few years ago he even tried to steal it for its weight value.
In addition to the complaints, there are those who have resorted to irony and have pointed out that it is the most expensive container in the world. Perhaps to launch the most expensive garbage bag in the world that Balenciaga has designed and which costs 1,400 euros.
This garbage bag is actually a bag made of calfskin that looks like a garbage bag. The Trash Bag model.
The irony with the sculpture has flooded the networks and there are even those who have put it up for sale on Wallapop, because it seems that no one wants it. The price is 50,000 euros. There is no discount, because that is what it cost.
On Wallapop
On the platform for the sale and purchase of second-hand products, the letter states that they are “metal boxes where you can leave garbage, bags and cardboard, in addition to whatever you can think of.”
They look like a decorative sculpture that you can put in the garden to scare away mosquitoes or attract them depending on the case. They weigh a lot, so you will have to bring your own vehicle to take them, something that has already been tried. It seems like no one wants them, so if you’re interested, the price “is negotiable.”
Of course the sculpture cannot be purchased, since it is property of the City Council. The sale on Wallapop is to draw attention to the convenience of keeping that sculpture clean.
In fact, in the last few hours City Hall staff have been seen cleaning the entire area around the sculpture. They point out in this sense that the situation is not the fault of the City Council but of the uncivils who use the sculpture as a container.
The work is part of a set of sculptures that were placed along the promenade and that remember the history of the municipality such as the boy with a paper boat that is reminiscent of the Vilamar colonies, the needle like the one used by the net menders. or the book in front of Casa Barral.
The controversial sculpture symbolizes a series of boxes like those used by fishermen at a time when fishing was the main activity in the municipality.
