The exhibit would have featured a giant red eye as a symbol of Sauron, the evil lord of the Middle Earth, on top of one of Moscow’s new skyscrapers. It would have been launched tonight as Moscow gets ready for the premiere of The Hobbit: The Battle of the Five Armies, the latest movie of the saga of the Ring.

I am afraid it’s mostly bad. One shouldn’t be surprised if something goes wrong with the city after that.” He went on to call the eye a symbol of Satan.
The piece of art would have measured 1 metre in diameter and would have been put on the roof of the “IQ-quarter” complex in Moscow International Business Center “Moscow-City.”
