Pillow Fight flashmob at the National Gallery
At precisely 6.09pm on Monday night, to borrow the famous line from The Godfather, warring mobs “took to the mattresses” at Trafalgar Square in London. It was the latest flashmob, a loosely organised group of hundreds of people who don’t know each other but meet spontaneously, do something silly for a few minutes, then go their separate ways. Now long considered passe (they are so 2003!), the aren’t-we-cool posturing has disappeared along with the TV cameras. London’s first flash mob was a sit-in at a Sofa Store, so it is only fitting that the latest incarnation was taking to the mattresses in probably the biggest pillow fight London has ever seen. Equal parts performance art, sport, dance, riot, party, and snow-making machine, the goose down did fly.
Two images below, but I’ve placed 15 images here.
