czech artists turn billboard into guerrilla merry-go-round swing

four czech artists transform a rotating billboard into a carnival-like ride
in the urban intervention project 'kolotoč' ('merry-go-round'), prague-based artists vojtěch fröhlich, ondřej mladý,
jan šimánek, and vladimír turner transform a rotating billboard into a 'swing around'-style, carnival-like ride.
the team first gathered onsite with climbing rope, carabiners, wooden panels, and balloons. after mounting the structure
via its maintenance ladder, each secured his cables to the billboard scaffolding before lowering himself down
on his homemade wooden swing and letting the rotations of the billboard transport them in circles.

jo peel: things change
utilizing footage taken from three weeks of mural painting on the walls of london, the three-minute stop-motion animation 'is an optimistic look at the idea of human impermanence.'
isaac cordal: waiting for climate change
the miniature environmental sculptural installation speaks to what the artist sees as a distressing lack of interest by the public in the futile state of the world's health.
