Murders and crimes are serious incidents, but some still cause, if not a smile, then curiosity and surprise, but by no means fear or horror. Passers-by had to face such incidents in Berlin, where Spanish artists Maria Lujan and Wolfgang krug staged a "killer" performance in the form of a street art project with blood and corpses. With the help of cardboard, colored paper, glue and paint, the creative tandem created a huge copy of a hunting knife, and with these weapons they killed each other in turn, leaving "lifeless" bodies bleeding to death on the busy streets of Berlin. This strange and in its own way entertaining performance and the name was appropriately - Giant knife, in honor of the weapon chosen for the kill.
At first glance, it may seem that there is no time for jokes here, and laughing at such situations is not only incorrect, but also sinful. But since the huge knife is made of cardboard, and the blood is colored paper, and the victims are only pretending, you can smile, and laughing is not forbidden, which, in fact, is what passers-by do after they look closely at the plot. And some will dare so much that they will be photographed against the backdrop of a bloody massacre and a giant murder weapon.
It must be admitted that such a bloody cardboard project is not the only one on the artists' account. Read more about them on Maria Lujan's website.
