MELTING MEN

This amazing installation of 1,000 melting men was done in collaboration with the WWF to highlight global warming.

Earlier this week, Brazilian artist Nele Azevedo, carved 1,000 figures out of ice and placed them on the steps of the concert hall in Berlin's Gendarmenmarkt Square. With temperatures of 73 degrees fahreneheit, (23 degrees celsius), the ice figures began melting within half an hour. the project entitled 'Melting Men' was meant to bring awareness to the World Wildlife Fund's warning that melting ice could cause sea-levels to rise more than 3.3 ft by 2100."
