Les Boules Roses by Claude Cormier and Associates was created using 200,000 resin balls which create a canopy that stretches over 1 kilometre through Montreal. It’s the second year the landscape architect has installed Pink Balls as part of Aires Libres, an arts festival that turns over a stretch of famed St. Catherine Street to pedestrians, through Labour Day.

That is one big statement she has made…
Yes, and I’d love to stroll that street while the exhibition is on.
Ooh, ahh, mmm, how pretty!
Wow! I wonder what she does with these when they come down? Just curious if she reuses them, stores them, etc. Always thinking practically . . . LOL!
I guess they get stored? Good point. That’s an awful lot of material.
You’ve got a lot of balls !
Love it, thanks!
