Publick

With my costume in a bag I headed to the nearest bus stop. I was wandering if the bus driver will let me in, but everything ended just fine.

As I expected the ribbons on my costume did not handle the trip really well  :



While I was trying to put my costume on I made even a bigger mess :



But my friend fixed me up :


and I was ready for my walk to Victoria square :







First person who took a ribbon from me :



He had a few questions before taking one :

Why?
Is it going on Internet?

He seemed fine with the idea of being seen with me on the Internet and was prepared to pose for the camera :






I found one person interested in what's happening coming out from the Art Gallery :


She seemed literally interested in this project and had a few questions about it. 



Afterwards I went to find more people :


And found a couple that looked lost :


So I helped them out to figure where they are 


And they took one ribbon from me :



The same women from the Art Gallery was flowing me to see 'art in action' and she asked me where to find more places related with art. As I am not local I could not help her out, but I shoved her our campus building for second year  :


Lovely ladies that took one more ribbon :





All people that took a ribbon from me asked why and after my phrase 'it is for an art project' they gladly participated. This couple was not exception :  



Till now everyone happily participated, but this couple were not excited about helping me out. They still don it tough :



I saw two girls taking photos of me so I tried to offer them a ribbon too. I think they did not speak in English really well and did not understood what I was talking about. For the first time offered ribbon was not taken :


The next lady was really nice. She had a chat with me for a while and even asked me which ribbon I prefer for her to take :




Victoria square was a bit empty so while I waited for more people my friend took a few pictures of me :



This guy was so happy to get one ribbon, he even thanked me a few times :



And the last ribbon taken :



The end :




I am happy with my final piece. However, if I would have known that because of my frame the costume is going to shrank, I would have made a bigger frame. 

But I really liked to see people smiles and, of course, confusion. I am happy that people were not afraid of me and participated in my project!

And here is the video that my friend filmed and I edited it : http://vimeo.com/59440805
