Claude Cormier Projects: Pink Balls, Montréal, Québec, Canada [6 of 10]

Along a kilometer-long stretch of Sainte-Catherine Street in Montréal Cormier had to create a visually powerful design on an almost non-existent budget. His solution was multiple strands of pink plastic balls suspended over the street - a total of 200,000 balls in all. The installation lasted six years and was then replaced by the temporary installation, 18 Shades of Gay, with balls representing the colors of the rainbow flag.
