About seventy percent of the Earth's surface is covered with water. But, nevertheless, only three percent of all the planet's water resources are fresh. For the sake of popularizing the smart use of water, the installation was created Waving wall, consisting of 1200 used bottles and cans.
On the site Kulturologia. Ru we have already talked about an unusual apartment building in Argentina, created from six million old bottles. Today we will tell you about a similar, albeit much smaller-scale project - the Waving Wall installation.
This installation was created by Holdup and Bloo Nation. It is located in the city of Chalkwell in the British county of Essex. The Waving Wall is a wave-like wall made of 1,200 old bottles and cans that could hold 22,800 liters of water.
The Waving Wall installation was created primarily for informational purposes. After all, information boards are installed next to it, telling everyone who is interested in many different facts about the inappropriate use of water in the world.
An example is the fact that we actually need 140 liters of water to brew a cup of coffee without milk. We are talking about the amount of water resources that are needed to grow coffee beans and sugar, to deliver them to your city, to create a coffee maker and other processes that you cannot do without. 140 liters for one cup!
There are dozens or even hundreds of similar examples on the information boards next to the Waving Wall installation!
And this installation itself is also one such example of the lack of a smart approach to the use of water resources. The 22,800 liters needed to fill all of the Waving Wall's containers with water are required to create just two pairs of regular jeans.
The creators of the Waving Wall installation want to make people who see it think about the very process of consumption and, perhaps, start treating it with a greater mind than before, get rid of excesses and unnecessary processes, thereby saving fresh water, the basis of life for Earth.

In the modern world, the bulk of Russian folklore has sunk into oblivion, having remained for the most part only in books, films and scripts for the now popular thematic festivities.

Water wigs for lovely bald ladies. The sequel to the Water Wigs series by Tim Tadder
We have already written about water wigs, an unusual decoration for hairless men's heads, invented by the American photographer Tim Tadder. The bright emotional photos that made up the Water Wigs series found a response in the hearts of people, and became incredibly popular both on the Internet and on exhibitions in galleries and museums of modern art. Therefore, we should expect the continuation of the art project - and here it is before us, a women's series called Water Wigs Women

The bottles are not simple, the bottles are painted. Unusual portraits by Meghan Paterson
Since childhood, I have always been interested in the question: how do craftsmen manage to stuff a whole ship into a small bottle with a narrow neck? This is not just art, it is art on the verge of focus, a kind of magic. It is beautiful and incomprehensible, which delights and fascinates. However, if there are countless boats in bottles, then there are even more empty bottles. This is what the artist Meghan Paterson uses as a canvas for her portraits
