Fallen Star

The cartoon "Up!" We have seen a flying house, which landed on top of a huge rock in South America. That Korean artist Ho Suh Up (Do Ho Suh) raised in the air and then down a small residential building. But not in a picturesque area near the waterfall, and on the roof of one of the buildings of the University of California in San Diego.

The United States is not accepted, studying at the university, to live at home with their parents. Even if your university is across the street from their habitats. Student - an independent person who must live separately. It does not matter in your own apartment or obschezhitii.

That this tradition and devoted quite extraordinary installation of Korean artist Ho Prior Suha called Fallen Star (Fallen Star), which he established in San Diego on the roof of one of the buildings of the University of California. Installing it is a small private one-story house. This building was first collected before Ho Dry wooden structures in the courtyard of the University of California campus, and only then with the help of a huge crane lifted onto the roof of the school korpusa.

Moreover, it should there not horizontally but at a slight angle (10 degrees) with respect to the roof surface, and, accordingly, the ground. Installation Fallen Star, for approval before Ho Suha, symbolizes the students cut off from their usual life, a little disoriented, just beginning their independent life. And University of California - this is the place where they perceive the wisdom of the new for them, adult mira.

Well, except for the symbolic, metaphorical meaning, installation Fallen Star is used also as a viewing platform, offering a panoramic view of the University of California and the city of San Diego in general.
