Environment Activists Try To Break World Record With This Colossal 3D Body Painting Picture


Martin Aigner/APA/Reef Calendar

The 3D Body Painting picture “Underwater Landscape” with 253 volunteers in a world record attempt in Vienna, Austria. The event is being held by Reef Calendar, a project to protect the underwater environment, together with the multiple world champion for bodypainting Gabriela Hajek-Renner and her 60 people team.

“It’s nice to have a world record, but it’s much more than just that! It is important for us to sensitize but also to bring together. Both of us succeed with this idea. Right now, where many of us have been at seasides during vacations, we want to make people aware of the importance the sea has for all of us. We have painted a colorful and intact underwater world with turtles, sharks, fish, corals and many species that have a home in our underwater world. Unfortunately, completely intact underwater worlds are hardly left out there. Problems caused by climate change, industry or tourism are massively damaging the underwater world!”
