Summary

[edit]
Description

Xavier Cortada created "Endangered World: Life Wall" using 360 red bricks along with stones deposited in the Netherlands by glacial forces during the last ice age.


The work is a 2.1m x 8.5m wall created near the nation's largest neolithic gravesite at the Hunebed Center in Borger (<a href="http://www.hunebedcentrum.nl/" rel="nofollow">www.hunebedcentrum.nl/</a>). The 360 bricks represent 360 animals struggling for survival across 360 degrees.


On each brick, Cortada painted the longitude where each animal lives. When a species dies out, the number is painted black. The animals are part of an interconnected web that includes humans. How many bricks can be removed before the wall of life comes tumbling down?
