Olaf Breuning Colorizes a Mountainside for Snow Drawing

Olaf Breuning Colorizes a Mountainside for Snow DrawingUsing the form of the first tracks drawn by skiers as a source of visual influence, olaf breuning has transformed a snowy mountainside in gstaad, switzerland into a giant, colorful canvas. the swiss artist’s latest ephemeral work for ‘elevation1049‘ — a series of site-specific exhibitions set within the alpine landscape — gambles with the unpredictability and variability inherent in nature.

using food coloring, breuning splashes and pours the liquid chroma onto the surface of snow, allowing it to slide and swivel down the sloping pathway
