People in Malmö are a little nuts ... they like to make things where there is nothing. Like a livingroom inside the hollow part under a pier. Follow me inside, will you?
In january they began building it, a photographer and a handyman would bike out to the pier late at night, swim through the water, crawl in through the tiny opening and then beging building "as quietly as possible so as to not disturb the guys fishing on the pier".

They've laid an oak wood floor, made the walls, shovelled out seaweed and added some height to the ceiling, cleaned up the rocks that serve as seats and added a mast to one wall as a shelf. "That's probably from an old shipwreck, we found it on the beach". All they have left to do is add some wall panels, and the living room is finished. They will not reveal where it is until the arts festival begins on Friday. After this the room will be left to it's faith "perhaps someone will move in?" Erik Vestman muses in the diary he kept for each day of building. His partner in room-making crime is the photographer Nils-Petter Löfstedt who kept an image diary of the building proccess.

Is this blue-worthy? I love the project I just don't much fancy the way the images are presented with the music and all.

That is pretty cool. I couldn't tell before I read your comment inside whether this was an art project or somebody's crazy home renovation type thing. Hopefully once they've unveiled it, there'll be better pics forthcoming.

Oh when they reveal it. I'll be there in a heartbeat taking pics too! I'm sure we'll all get better views then.

I like the first shot of the guy's legs sticking out, like they just found a dead body.

Anyway, you have to consider that the folks in Malmö are, like, half-Danish to begin with.

Very cool! I wonder how they found it and how it stays dry.
