artist gad weil describes himself as a street artist, but he produces unqiue installations that aren’t like any
street art you have seen before. the artist’s latest piece over took a section of avenue des champs-elysees
in paris, covering the wide boulevard with grass and other plants. ‘nature capitale’ features 8,000 parcels
of agriculture covering over 3 hectares of land with 150,000 plants. the installation was in place for only
two days and was created in collaboration with landscape designer laurence medioni. young french
farmers angry about their falling incomes donated the plants, prudcing the artwork as a protest statement.
this latest champs-elysees piece comes 20 years after weil’s ‘la grand moisson’ for which he transformed
the same street into a wheat field.
