Description
Doron Gazit travels the world raising awareness of climate change and other environmental destruction - with big, red “balloons.”
Nowadays, Gazit says, “Nature is my canvas.” His inflatable-based works include Sculpting the Wind, in which inflatable sleeves reveal the movement of the wind; “Hi-Lights,” a series of playful, illuminated decorative pieces; and, of course, the Red Line Project.
Gazit has placed his supersize red lines at the dwindling Dead Sea, melting icebergs in Alaska, California’s drought-ravaged San Joaquin Valley, the shrinking Salton Sea, and other imperilled places. When Gazit leaves, the tubing goes with him, leaving no trace on the landscape.
