Out of Controll in Venice

When Egill Sæbjörnsson got invited to present Iceland at the Venice Biennale, his imaginary friends, the 36 meter tall, man-eating trolls Ugh & Boogar, decided they could do it better and took over.

They set up a giant espressobar to lure in guests, but in return they ate all the visitors, including Egill, the curator of the pavilion and thousands of visitors. Egill Sæbjörnsson almost got in prison for this but got saved last minute as this was just an art project.
