Danish artist Marco Evaristti took 780 gallons of red paint, three fire hoses and a 20-member crew  to Greenland in search of a blank canvas large enough to accommodate his creative impulse. The result is a blood-red iceberg now sitting off the country’s western coast. The work is part of his Trilogy series.

“Trilogy comprises three projects that deal with the themes of territories and states. Using fruit color and fabric, Evaristti coloured an ice cube in Greenland, areas of Mont Blanc and a sand dune in the Sahara, red. He then declared them all as his territory and named it ‘Pink State’. The work is a series of transient changes in nature, touching on issues of environmental pollution, territorial demands and political methods.”

Evaristti was arrested during the Mont Blanc painting.
