Beethoven | Eyes on the Streets

Walls of Vision, “Wald” by Shaleen Faussner. This was the winning image in a competition for young artists. One of the requirements was that the piece had to be a modern Interpretation of the historical artwork. Faussner chose “Woman Walking in an Exotic Forest” by Henri Rousseau. The artist duo innerfields (aka Holger Weissflog and Jakob Bardou) helped translate the winning image into the much larger size that was needed.
