Melting Men

by Nele Azevedo



One Brazilian artist, thousands of icy men, countless people touched.

What started off as a 'critical reading of monument in contemporary cities'
turned into
activists' message on climate change.

This is what great contemporary art does, it makes you think, and often, there may be so many interpretations to it, from this very simple (almost.. pointalistic/minimalistic [musically speaking]) concept. I mean, I even have my own interpretation of it, that's completely different from her's and the climate change people's. The beauty of it is that it's so elegant, people can have their own interpretations of it, based on their believes, interests, passions.

Just brilliant.
