NYC - Battery Park City. Nelson A. Rockefeller Park: " The Real World"

    Continuing optimistically let's talk about a park.

    The thematic small park "The Real World" is α NFT (Not For Tourists) point of the city. It is a pleasant
and amusing surprise as you walk for the first time around the area musing the river and its opposite bank.
    "The Real World" is a tiny world which has installed there since 1992. Is a joyful crowd of miniature
cartoonish sculptures. Anthropomorphic, imaginary, unrealistic figures, little animals and objects outspreaded
all around. They look like being in a consecutive motion rambling and murmuring their stories.
     Suddenly you feel like losing the burden of your age.
     You keep walking relieved, and lighter.

     The installation is Tom Otterness's artwork in bronze.
