The land art artist SAYPE will realise in the coming years a world tour of benevolence named “Beyond Walls” Project – The Biggest Human Chain in the World”. The largest human chain in the world started on the Champ de Mars, last June, and crossed  Andorra and Geneva. This international fresco of intertwined hands painted by SAYPE  conveys a powerful message of optimism, benevolence and mutual aid. SAYPE chose BERLIN as 4th step. He will celebrate the 30th anniversary of the fall of the  Berlin Wall by creating two frescos, 100% biodegradable interlaced handshafts from October 30th to November 4th at the parks of Treptower, near to the Spree and Schlesischer Busch, where once passed the Berlin Wall. A surveillance tower of the former GDR remains there.

The Berlin Wall and SAYPE, international figure of Land art, have one thing in commun. In 1989, when one fell, the other was born. The festivities organized for the 30 years of the fall  of the Wall bring them together today. Two artistic works of more than 2000m2 each will be  painted.

Geneva

Beyond Walls in Berlin is carried out with the support of the Treptow-Köpenick Town Hall  and with the friendly support of the Senate Department for Culture and Europe in Berlin.

After Paris, Andorra, Geneva, SAYPE produces two ephemeral frescos of more than 2,000m2 in 100% biodegradable paint in Berlin. From October 29 to November 4, 2019, his message of optimism, goodwill and mutual help will take shape in the Treptower Park, near the Spree and in Schlesischer Busch, where once passed the Berlin Wall. A surveillance tower of the former GDR is still there.

The international human chain BEYOND WALLS will continue in Ouagadougou, BURKINA FASO, on February 2020.

SAYPE is known as THE pioneer of a new artistic  movement between Street art and Land art. His work has attracted a lot of interest from the media: more than 1 000 publications worldwide  in recent years and a current media reach of more  than 500 million people. Passionate about  philosophy and “existential” reflections, his painting explores questions about the human being. The support of his works is alive, impermanent, the fresco evolves over time and disappears with the regrowth of the grass.
