An architect-designer in southern Finland has returned to a frozen lake with a snow shovel to drag a large animal across the ice for the sixth year in a row, creating an artwork he hopes will 'make people happy. and encourages them to go out. To rise in a beautiful nature'.
On 4 December, Pasi Vidgren pulled a fox about 90 meters (295 ft) on Lake Pitkjarvi, north of Helsinki.
In previous years, he used a shovel to sketch a bear and an owl, always using the same lake as his canvas.
The idea for Transient Art came 'suddenly a few years ago when I realized I might have a special ability to coordinate to do this kind of work', the 40-year-old told the Associated Press. When he reached Pitkajarvi lake. This month, he tested the thickness of the ice to make sure it was dense enough to walk and work on. It was 10 to 15 centimeters (four to six inches) thick.
Widgren revealed that he had ice cubes around his neck in case the ice broke out and that he needed to protect himself, adding: 'Then I tried to match my image of the fox at the same time by walking and thinking it Sketched the contours of the figure and then I started to "draw" it using a snow shovel.
Four hours later, Widgren was done.
He said: 'I went to a peak 45 meters (about 150 feet) above the lake to see the final result, drank coffee from my thermos bottle and took some pictures and videos as a memory of doing so.'
Vidgren said the fox was less visible as of Monday because it had snowed a little.
He said, 'It is also very important for me that making such art does not leave any mark on nature.
Wow! Good job, Sir! A joy to behold.
