rota in the canary islands. and in ireland his first mirror installation was in the nippy and desert and it was even visible from outer space. this work of art is a bit more grounded you might say it took just a tractor and a cornfield in italy to make in third place the farmer of european parts from italy down to zero gum biting his large scale field paintings only last until the field is replanted. this artist likes to. blend his subjects into the background his project by british photographer joseph ford is known as knitted camouflage one photo and his series won him the number two spot on our list of european artists whose works are best appreciated from above. this

put on shows in this puppet fringed we've chosen for ourselves. the exhibits provide a glimpse of what goes into their creative process from initial sketches to puppets from various productions. to a few of their favorite life sized sidekicks. there's even a look behind the scenes at the technology that helps bring their puppets and props to life these days many of their puppets include robot elements. the puppet here stands behind it in operates the latex mouth or only the eyes are animatronic. someone lying on the ground uses the joystick to operate off three pairs of eyes to make them blink look to the left and the right. you have to plan it so they open and close at just the right moment. of. the props and puppets are operated by hand and they're all hand crafted need and
