At the end of October 2012, the whole world was watching Hurricane Sandy, which hit New York, paralyzing it for several days. This was a great revelation for hundreds of millions of people. After all, it turns out that even the largest and richest city in the world is not insured in any way from the damaging effects of nature. But New York survived this disaster with dignity and began a new life after it. And only installations type Global rainbow, after the storm remind us of what happened just a month ago.
Hurricane Sandy gave a huge boost not only to the local patriotism of New Yorkers, but also to the creativity of artists from this city. And many authors have already created works dedicated to the disaster that took place in October 2012. For example, Sebastian Errazuriz began selling original post-touched T-shirts, and Yvette Mattern installed one of the brightest and most ambitious installations of our time - Global rainbow, after the storm.
Installation Global rainbow, after the storm is a powerful seven-color laser shining at night into the space above New York. It symbolizes a rainbow that appears in the sky after each rain to symbolize the beginning of a new life.
A giant laser rainbow rose over New York after the hurricane, delighting New Yorkers and numerous visitors to this city.
On fine evenings, this multicolored laser beam can be up to 56 kilometers long, allowing it to be seen far beyond New York.
True, this amazing light installation lasted only three evenings - from November 27 to 29, 2012. But the residents of the city will clearly remember this extraordinary creative project of Yvette Mattern for a long time.
