Giant genitalia exhibited in former Bristol toilets

A former public toilet in Bristol is to be occupied by giant black velvet genitalia in the name of art.

People are invited to have their photo taken with the two sculptures at the Edwardian Cloakroom, which has been turned into a creative space.

These pictures will then be displayed on the surrounding walls.

Artist Claudio Ahlers said he hopes to tour the country with the exhibition - Portraits of Private Perception - which starts on Monday and lasts six days.

Mr Ahlers, together with Tilly May, Virginie Noel and Ellie Gray, will photograph visitors interacting with the 2.2m (7ft) tall sculptures - one in the former ladies' toilet and one in the men's.

(continued, bring back memories for the local gay community...)

Well what? There recently was a giant green inflatable sex toy on one of Paris' poshest squares, also in the name of art... vandals deflated it, though.

It didn't look like a sex toy. A suppository at most.

Butt plug was what I first thought when I saw the picture... even though the 'artist' called it a fir or Xmas tree
