Good lord, it sounds like something out of James Joyce, except this would appear to be an exercise in guerrilla art, which, if nothing else should piss off the still powerful Catholic church. Although the report in the Dublin Evening Herald does not record the number, a whole bunch of these identical images, by an artist known only as Pi, appeared on walls, bridges, and streets of Dublin in the course of a single night last week, slowing traffic, intriguing or disconcerting the populace, and sending more than one fleeing for a pint of Guinness and a shot of Jamieson’s.
A similar art performance occurred back in the 1980s when I lived in lower Manhattan where some unknown artist painted dozens of sinister life-size black silhouettes that were vaguely the shape of a young Elvis Costello, and consistently positioned them on shadowed walls and the entrances to alleyways for the maximum, corner-of-the-eye, double-take shock
The secret word is Samo
