Flying pigs might obscure Trump in Chicago
Posted December 6, 2016 by Floydian Slip
A Chicago architectural firm is drawing inspiration from Pink Floyd in an attempt to mute the omnipresent name of the President-Elect in the Windy City.
In a nod to Floyd’s 1977 “Animals” album, New World Design Ltd. has created renderings of what Trump Tower Chicago might look like if the firm were allowed to float four inflatable pigs from buoys in the Chicago River blocking view of the Trump name on the building facade.
The firm says the 20-foot sign has been a point of contention since it went up in 2014.
“Flying Pigs on Parade — a Chicago River Folly,” as the firm has dubbed its proposal, incorporates a number of symbolisms making it more than just urban camouflage:
- Flying pigs reflecting the unlikelihood of the Trump win; the color gold to represent Trump’s “gaudy style”;
- Four pigs: “one pig for each of the four years the world will need to endure the Trump presidency”;
- A porcine theme in fitting with the President-Elect’s “Miss Piggy” comments; and, not the least of which,
- Pink Floyd’s album that the firm “encourage(s) folly viewers to listen and make their own interpretations.”
