The already mythical giant hands of SAYPE appear in Geneva
In June of this year he said that he would create the world's largest human chain and he's on it. Swiss Franconian artist SAYPE returns to his land to complete ** the third phase of his Beyond Walls project ** with which he will travel all over the world for the next three years painting his incredible ephemeral hands.
After intervening in Paris , at the foot of the Eiffel Tower, and in ** Andorra **, during these days he stops at Geneva , where Bastions and La Grange parks have been chosen for SAYPE to leave a mark of 8,000 square meters in the form of intertwined hands.
It will be temporary, the footprint thing; because SAYPE uses grass or sand as a canvas which he finds on the ground and uses to create his art 100% biodegradable paint made by mixing chalk and charcoal. So his work will be ephemeral or it won't be.
And it is that SAYPE practices a discipline known as land art, that art that blends in with the landscape. With this project in particular, Beyond Walls , the author of it wants to generate a movement in society, that something be shaken, and serve to inspire kindness among people , leaving aside those walls, both interior and exterior, that do not let us advance. Nor pass. Hands never said so much.
This project will take you through the five continents Already more than 20 cities. The next destination is already confirmed: berlin . Yes, it will be in october. Until then, you can enjoy the creation process through ** this web page ,** where every five minutes they publish a newly taken photograph that allows you to appreciate the evolution.
