LIVING ARTWORKS

Both boys are in the garden balancing on plinths, carrying placards, while rotating very slowly.
 
As they turn, a tape recorder plays the theme song from 80s nostalgic British comedy series Hi-de-hi!:
Well, if you're feelin' lonely, and gettin' in a stew
Just bend your ear, come over here
And man here's what you do
If you got the blues, I got some news
Join in the fun in your blue suede shoes
Do the holiday rock
Do the holiday rock
Hi-de-hi-de-hi
Ho-de-ho-de-ho
Go, Go, Go do the holiday rock
over and over again.
 
It must be said that Wilson is finding the simultaneous turning and placard-carrying quite difficult and sometimes wobbles alarmingly… but perhaps that's part of the performance.
 
I'm also a little worried that after half-an-hour of spinning, albeit very slowly, they might both be getting a bit dizzy and risk falling off their podia!
