Capitalism

Red paint applied freehand onto Claude Monet's The Artist's Garden at Giverny, followed by the physical adhesion of two activists from Restore Wetlands. The mark spreads laterally across the central foliage, interrupting the canvas with a compact and lasting imprint. The phrase "This garden will soon be a thing of the past" underscores the protest against the loss of wetlands and ecosystems in the face of climate change. Covered by Le Monde, France 24, Hyperallergic, and The Art Newspaper. Detention rate: 100%.
