Teahupoo, French Polynesia. Ace’s Pile of Severed Heads – Encinitas, CA. Aug 2013. Art: BERT

Teahupoo: Roughly translated to “a pile of severed heads.” Definition refers to a battle between a couple of tribal groups over the territory pre-European arrival. The area is kind of prized as a really nice piece of farmland with access to excellent fishing — worth fighting over apparently. The skulls of the losing team were built into a wall to warn off other people who may have been interested in the land value thereabouts.Art: BERT

Peniche, Portugal. Kai Otton’s Big Catch in Portugal – Solana Beach, CA October 2013. Art: BERT

Every fisherman has a story about losing the “big one.” Otton had 7 years worth of those stories. He had yet to win a tour contest in his 7 year residency until recently. BERT’s installation in Solana Beach shows Otton finally catching the big one represented by the massive trophy Otton received during the Rip Cur Pro Portugal award ceremony. Otton points to the sky with a single finger as a reference to his first win, as well as a dedication to his passed grandfather whom Otton dedicated his win to. Art: BERT
