Projeto Paisagem - Vik Muniz - Rio+20

 

Vik Muniz projetou no chão uma fotografia que fez da Baía de Guanabara a partir do Mirante Dona Marta, em Botafogo. E teve a colaboração do público que incluiu seu material reciclável como garrafas plásticas, caixas tetra pack e latas de alumínio na imagem no chão, até que o desenho se completou com 20m X 18m. Foi 1,3 tonelada de lixo.

 

Vik Muniz projected on the ground a photograph that he made of Guanabara Bay (Rio de Janeiro) from the Mirante Dona Marta, in Botafogo. And had the collaboration of the public that included their recyclable materials as plastic bottles, tetra pack cartons and aluminum cans in the picture until the design was completed with 65x60 ft. It was 1.3 ton of trash.

 

Born in São Paulo in 1961, Muniz has made a name for himself in the art world with his characteristic style of creating images using non-art materials. His works have included creations made from thread, wire, cotton, chocolate syrup, caviar, used computer parts and ripped magazine pages. He then photographs them, preserving the image of the work for display.
