Giantic Fish Sculptures From Recycled Plastic Bottles


Large fish-shaped sculptures created with the use of discarted plastic bottles have appeared at one of the most visited beaches in Rio de Janeiro as a part of Rio+20 conference on sustainable development. The installation is illuminated at night with colorful lights which make it glow in the dark. The project serves as a reminder for beach-goers to recycle plastic bottles in order to reduce the amount of waste that ends up in our oceans'.

3000 Camera-Flowers





This impressive field of tiny turquoise forget-me-not cameras has been created by Andre Feliciano - Brazilian artist recently comissioned by the United Photo Industries. His first installation presented to the American art lovers features over 3000 minature camera-flowers emerging from among leaves of grass. Andre has become familiar to the world's audience only just recently, but his Brazilian career path has been long and breath-taking. He had his exhibitions at Sao Paulo Museum of Modern Art (MAM), the Tomie Ohtake Institute and Sao Paulo’s Geothe Institute. Personally I find him one of the greatest modern art talents who may become as big as Christo and Jeanne-Claude or Yayoi Kusama if he keeps his mind and projects fresh. Good luck, Andre! See you at Tate Modern!
