Nele Azevedo, Melting Men, 2009
We love the clever environmental message that this installation portrays. Azevedo carved 1,000 figures out of ice and situated them on the steps of the concert hall in Berlin’s Gendarmenmarkt square. They began melting within half an hour, which drives home the warning of the project that the melting ice caps will most likely cause sea-levels to rise more than 3.3 feet by 2100.
