There is an art group in Chicago called You Are Beautiful. All its authors are anonymous, and the works that they leave on the streets of cities can hardly be called masterpieces. But for the members of the team, the ability to draw or sculpt sculptures is not the main thing. The main thing is the desire to give people positive and good mood. And it seems that they succeed.
The whole activity of the team lies in the fact that they place in various places of the city the same phrase, consisting of three words: You Are Beautiful, that is, "you are beautiful." Billboards, walls, public transport, fences, lampposts - the words that bring a smile and a positive attitude can be seen anywhere. Moreover, the authors are quite creative: the phrase “You Are Beautiful” can be printed on paper, painted on the wall, presented as a large-scale installation in the middle of the street, or, conversely, as a small sticker in a secluded corner.
“We believe that our message is incredibly important, especially in the atmosphere of modern society,” the team members say. - Life challenges all of us. Whether you're dealing with challenges, overcoming obstacles, or simply stuck in your daily routine, we all need positive forces to remind us that we are worth something.”
Anyone can join the activity of the collective and become the author of the inscription "You Are Beautiful": the more cities and countries covered by "Byutimania", the better. But you must follow three simple rules: 1. Do not sell the results of your labor; 2. Do not create works, even free ones, that can potentially be turned into goods (T-shirts, mugs, etc.); 3. Treat your installations with respect.
