People Pyramid: The Structural Integrity of Beer

This weekend, in addition to getting extremely lost on the S-Bahn





















I also came across a people pyramid.

This pyramid, constructed entirely out of boxes of beer, encouraged the visitor to open said boxes and have a drink. The Catch 22 is that the more you drink, the more you compromise the structural integrity of the form. Seems like a worthwhile risk for some free beer.

In terms of size, scale, and proportion to the surrounding room, 
the installation also reminded a lot of Kailasa, the most sublime of the Ellora Caves in India.
 
But I probably just have a soft spot for pyramids...And people watching.
