About the work

The title, Homo Bulla translates from Latin to mean 'man is a bubble' - bubbles having been used art historically, as symbols of the transience of material things, including human existence, thought and ideas. Contained inside each bubble are lines from the song 'I'm forever Blowing Bubbles' a popular football anthem today, but believed to have originated from the First World War in reference to the bubbles in gas masks employed by trench-bound soldiers.

About the artist

From re-creating east-end market-stalls in a gallery context, to painstakingly etched portraits and horticultural drawings, Michael Landy's work ruminates on consumerism and ownership and unflinchingly observes life with a distinctive and spartan honesty. One of Landy's best-known projects is Breakdown, 2001, in which all his worldly possessions were methodically listed by inventory in a disused London shop, before being fed by conveyor belt into a large grinder and reduced to dust.

GREAT REMOTE HOLDER BUT BEWARE OF POSSIBLE STRONG PERFUMY SCENT!
Color: Black, Size: Small
This is a very nicely made and attractive remote holder, perfect for my storage and organizational needs. It is a good value for the money. The only reason I did not give it 5 stars is that the small pack that was in the holder to prevent moisture had a very strong perfumy smell that gave me a headache even after I removed it and left it in a place away from me to air out for over a week. I can still smell it, although it seems to be gradually fading. I would have returned it and ordered another but figured I would get the same situation so it would not be worth the trouble.

Good product
Color: Black, Size: Small
So far so good. It has enough spots for remotes, seems to be good quality and works well. Its staggered height of the pockets works great and looks fine on the end table.
