Artist Creates Massive Traffic Jam on Beach to Raise Awareness About Climate Change
Artist Leandro Erlich has caused a traffic jam on Miami Beach. His monumental, site-specific installation called Order of Importance features 66 life-sized sand sculptures of cars and trucks that have seemingly been abandoned on this gritty pathway. And not only that, but they have become one with the landscape itself. This piece marks Erlich’s largest installation to date, and his surreal queue of vehicles was made in response to global climate change.
