In the Californian town of Folsom, you will find a giant bronze pick erected in memory of Johnny Cash, Irish blues legend Rory Gallagher has his stylized guitar in Cork, and from today, Vela Luka is also richer for a tribute to the Croatian music legend in the form of an art installation.
Oliver’s newly erected glasses, by which he was recognizable at the beginning of his career, can be seen while walking along the waterfront, right at the place from where he left by boat to go fishing.
If your path takes you to the iconic Raybanica, stop and look towards the islet of Ošjak and the bay, and at least briefly, observe Vela Luka through Oliver’s eyes. Take a few photos as a memento, because that’s why they’re there, and if you scan the QR code with your mobile phone, you can also find out some information about the Croatian music legend.
Feel free to share the photos you take on social media, using the hashtag #teksadvidim, so that the sculpture can serve as a virtual postcard of Oliver’s area.
You can find out more about the sculpture here, where its project author, artist and designer Saša Prižmić, tells us more about the installation and its meaning.
