Serious business:
hahah nice. I especially like this comment from reddit by MiniBandGeek:
First they came for the bullhorns, and I didn’t speak out because I wasn’t a director.
Then they came for the drumline, and I didn’t speak out because I wasn’t a percussionist.
Then they came for the winds, and there was no one left to speak for me.
Thoughts?
COMMENTImagine is a set of 50 musical instruments fabricated out of destroyed weapons – revolvers, shotguns, machineguns, etc. This work is a progression of Palas por Pistolas (2008), where 1527 weapons were melted and made into the same number of shovels to plant 1527 trees.
A group of 6 musicians worked for 2 weeks shoulder-to-shoulder turning these agents of death into instruments of life.
LOL agents of death! I’ve got to admit those guitars look and sound really badass. A shame those weapons were ever destroyed in the first place though.
More pictures and information over at Pedro Reyes’ website.
