The Russian Poet's bench...

Recently we had a Russian poet staying with us. Actually, as it turned out Michael was neither Russian or had ever claimed he was a poet, but he did know a lot about Andrey Voznesensky, and, as if we didn't like him enough already, in the course of the lecture he was here to give about Voznesensky, he showed a slide of this bench, made by the poet.



And here's a link to an interview with Voznesensky which takes place, appropriately, on a park bench.

I don't understand what I'm looking at. Is it an artistic representation of a bench (like on a ceramic tile) or it that bench in a very odd garden somewhere?

No, it's art. An explanation above now.
