New Year's Eve Installation Art

Installation art, according to Wikipedia, describes an artistic genre of site-specific, three-dimensional works designed to transform the perception of a space. Wikipedia continues that this art genre incorporates a very broad range of everyday and natural materials, which are often chosen for their evocative qualities.

This installation art is the result of our New Year's Eve partying: traces of leftover food, fruit peelings, spoons, forks, a wine bottle, trumpets, inflatable ring, coin banks, used firecrackers and sparklers strewn all over. What an artsy way to welcome the New Year 2010!
