Traffic
A traffic jam is an ugly thing, but at the hands of Spanish artist Maider Lopez, a traffic jam art installation becomes strangely beautiful nestled in the foothills of Mount Aralar.
The artist asked for volunteers to participate in the traffic jam art installation via public announcements on newspapers, radios and flyers in September 2005. The result was 160 cars, approximately 425 people that participated in the 4-hour traffic jam. Volunteers directed traffic, served lunch and photographed and filmed the traffic jam from different angles.
“A traffic jam was caused in a place where there are normally none,” explains the artist. “The cars were distributed on arrival by color and position along the road, giving rise to a sort of absurd “Waiting for Godot” Sunday in the hills.”
