Floralis Generica is a beautiful sculpture located in United Nations Park in Buenos Aires. This Park is right next to the Recoleta district (actually across the street from the Recoleta flea market on weekends) and is next to the Law School.
Floralis Generic is a giant, 23 meter sculpture made of steel and aluminum (its weight is 18 tons). The structure of the flower is made of steel and the shiny panels in the petals are made of aluminum. The sculpture moves, closing its petals at night and opening them during the day. It has some lighting for special ocassions too
The law school at night is quite a stunning building
Walking around Recoleta park and walkways around, there are many graffiti style piece of public art all around.
Randomly seeing the nocturnal activity
More memorials….
