The island on the Liffey

the_syco

Was on a bus on Saturday, coming from the tunnel to O'Connell street, and I saw a small island in the Liffey with an orange tent on it, just before the famine ship.

Seems some artist is living on a temporary island for a few days for the craic.

From September 10th he will live on the island full-time for 10 days

In other news;

remnants of Hurricane Katia makes its way across the Atlantic

I do believe he'll get the full effect of "why not to live on a small island" :pac:

Ohhh I saw that today and wondered what it was. There didnt seem to be any sign of a tent though, just some orange material blowing in the wind! Oh dear - maybe the wind forced him back to shore!!

I think he has left due to the weather

Well he was back this morning with his orange tent up and constructing his palm trees!! There was a small boat there and things were bring off loaded onto the island. Mind you the tent is on a bit of a slope so I dont think it will be too comfortable to sleep in.

I thought he slept inside the thing and the tent was just for show.

Any chance of a pic if one of you is passing?
