170,000 pink balls were suspended high in the air to enliven Montreal’s Sainte-Catherine Street East as it transforms for the summer into a pedestrian mall.
The plastic balls, in three different sizes and five subtle shades of pink, are strung together with bracing wire, crisscrossing the street and stretching through tree branches at varying heights.
The installation has been deployed in nine sections, each section displaying its own unique pattern. The result is a range of spirited motifs, some dense, others open and airy, all reflecting the street’s many moods. Not only is the visual impact delightful, but the artificial pink foliage modulates and plays with the light as pedestrians amble the length of the installation, which extends a full 1.2 kilometres between Berri and Papineau Streets.
