UK - London - The Tomoaki Suzuki nativity scene and tourists in Trafalgar Sq

A holy nativity scene titled Christmas Crib by the artist Tomoaki Suzuki with background tourists in London's Trafalgar Square. Juxtaposed under the Angel Gabriel are a man's legs who is actually hauling himself up on to a plinth of Nelson's comumn. Encased within a transparent perspex box are the pilgrims who are apparently paying their respects to the infant Jesus in that famous Christian religious event. The new crib was commissioned in 2006 by St Martin-in-the-Fields providing a significant new public art work embodies characters representing different ethnicities - Middle eastern, Caucasian, African and Asian. The 11 painted lime wood carving are 40% life-size and were a collaboration with fashion designer Jessica Ogden who created timeless silk costumes for each of the characters.
