Whether or not you believe in strange visitors from other times, planets, or dimensions coming to oversee the workings of the world, these sculptures would still manage to chill your spine and suggest the surroundings, offering a divine sense.
Manfred Kielnhofer - Guardians of Time Guardians of Time by Manfred Kielnhofer Mystique
contemporary art sculpture,  "Guardians of Time",  by the Austrian Manfred Kielnhofer, observing and pretending the world. 
“The Guardians of Time” relates to the idea that since the beginning of time mankind has had protectors, both for historic and mystical reasons. 

It seems that only man himself is a potential source of danger for his own existence. In his works of art Manfred Kielnhofer deals with the natural human desire for security. 
Thus, his oeuvre reflects genuine exploration, consideration and discussion of current as well as historic moods and sensibilities of his social environment. 

His works of art captivate with elaborate combinations of light and different technique.
Behold shrouded figures standing watch over us all, each of them covered in light in all places both light and dark. 

These are a set of sculptures called Light Guards, designed and executed by designer / artist Manfred Kielnhofer. 
Each of them is a lamp sculpture, fabric draped over an invisible human-like shape. Each one of them is also polyester matched with energy sensitive lamps glowing at 32 W each. 

These seem so spectacular.They are light and spectacularly gorgeous. To have these sitting about your city is to have something miraculous keeping an eye on your whole spiritual population.

... So, what might happen when there are too many cooks in the kitchen? Saying (UK): Too many Cooks Spoil the Broth (US) :Too many Cooks Spoil the Soup. This idiomatic expression is said when there are too many perople involved in trying to do the same thing so that the final result is not satisfying. The proverb, ‘too many cooks spoil the broth’, means: When there are a lot of people working on a project, then that project may not be completed to such a high standard. Sometimes one person does a better job than many. At work, a single, streamlined approach can be better to get the desired results.

In such a situation, everyone may have their own way of doing things and arguments and ...
