Most often, it is people who are engaged in painting, it does not matter whether they are professional artists or just amateurs to draw. Sometimes the pictures are drawn by animals, for example, dolphins or monkeys. But in Berlin, cars, motorcycles and bicycles have recently become artists. True, against the will of their drivers. This is due to the act of cultural guerrilla (partisan war) called Painting realityby an artist with the pseudonym IEPE.
Hundreds and thousands of artists around the world participate in the cultural guerrilla, who want to make our world much more beautiful, vibrant and creative. As an example, let's remember the unusual light installations from Luzinterruptus. And recently, an unprecedentedly large-scale act of creative guerrilla warfare called Painting Reality was carried out in Berlin.
This action began with the fact that several groups of anonymous motorcyclists, who volunteered to help the artist with the pseudonym IEPE in the implementation of his unusual idea, poured 500 liters of watercolors in red, yellow, blue and purple at different points of the intersection on Rosenthaler Platz in Berlin.
Well, then everything went by itself, automatically. After all, this intersection is a very busy transport hub of the city, and therefore the paint was immediately picked up by passing vehicles.
In total, over two thousand cars, buses, motorcycles and bicycles took part in the Painting Reality art action during the time until the watercolors poured on the road dried up. So all of their drivers can be awarded the honorary title of "artist".
As a result, the roadbed on Rosenthaler Square turned into a huge avant-garde painting with a diagonal of more than ten meters. True, after the first rain, it ceased to exist. As well as the traces of watercolor paint on the wheels of vehicles were washed away, willingly or not by the will of those who participated in the Painting Reality action from IEPE.
