Melting Men
By artist Nele Azevedo. 1000 melting men on the steps of Berlin's concert hall — dramatizing global warming. The artist has done similar installations in various cities. The men typically last about 30 minutes before melting completely. From October 2009 (but it was new to me).

Ocupación
The artist's concept: to walk in traffic with car horns strapped to her back.
Or, as the translated text from YouTube says: "Occupation of space for the transit of cars with loud support from a portable device with 4 horns (12 v) for cars."
