A group of designers from South Korea
found a way to fight those gloomy days when it just wouldn’t stop
raining. Together with Pantone they brought back the colours to Seoul by
creating huge vibrant paintings on the streets which appear when it’s
raining.
Their project is titled “Project
Monsoon” and, as the name suggests, was created for the annual monsoon
season when it rains for as long as 3 weeks. The artists used
special hydrochromatic paint, which stays invisible until it gets wet.
“Inspired by South Korea’s culture of
emphasizing the importance of the flow of rivers, the paintings utilize
Korea’s topographical features that create a flow and puddle of rain
water in every street to fill the streets with color and life,” the
artists write about their project. So, get a ticket to Seoul and grab
an umbrella, because rainy days are nowhere near depressing there!
The images below were released as the
teaser of the project and also “to give people something to look forward
to this year’s monsoon season.”
