supersonicart:Pejac’s “Heavy Sea.”Three years ago Spanish artist Pejac created a watercolor painting he entitled “Heavy Sea” which portrayed an orange life ring in the midst of an ocean of tires, saving no one.Now, in 2016, Pejac has returned to this idea and has created an actual, real life version of it in a project of the same name. As Pejac himself explains: “This project was actually born some years ago when I painted ‘Heavy Sea’ a watercolor featuring a lifesaving ring in a sea of disused tires. And then in one of my voyages abroad, just some months ago, I found my self in front of that very same landscape. It was a poetic nightmare made real. Being surrounded by hundreds of thousands (or millions?) of tires was quite overwhelming and disturbing at the same time. More than a dump, it felt like being in an endless graveyard. Having the opportunity of making real a fictional idea was quite a challenging experience. It has been exciting while also very dramatic. The more time I spent there the more evident became the relation failure between human kind and the earth.”For the project Pejac also made a film which you can check out below: Afficher davantage -- source link
