A ‘homework assignment shot in two afternoons’ by Vania Heymann – a first year at Bezalel School Of Art and Design in Jerusalem.
It’s a clever and colourful take on the unquestioned power accorded to icons as addressed in Bertrand Russell’s celestial teapot analogy, which is still used in discussions – especially discussions about religion – where the philosophical burden of proof must be based upon unfalsifiable scientific claims rather than simply shifted to others to disprove.
The celestial teapot watering can is available from IKEA for 99c by the way.
