5.15 LOOKDOWN

"Painting 40 meters in the air, suspended by a rope and with an unstable canvas, was an exhilarating way to push my boundaries and challenge my my inner child skills as a painter."

5.15 LOOK DOWN / Art Performance

The artist was inspired by the physical and mental challenges of climbing, as well as the sense of freedom and accomplishment that comes with completing a difficult route. The artwork captured the essence of climbing. Martin Siller and the friends from the FREEDOM crew were essential to the success of the art performance. Martin helped the artist to understand the technical aspects of climbing and to develop a safe and effective way to climb the wall with the canvas. The FREEDOM friends provided emotional support and encouragement throughout the process. The performance/canvas is a unique and innovative way to express the passion for climbing and to inspire others to experience the joy and challenge of climbing, and to appreciate the beauty and power of the human body.

I have always been fascinated by heights, and I have always loved the challenge of learning new things. So, when I had the opportunity to paint 40 meters in the air, I jumped at the chance. I knew that it would be a challenge, but I was also confident that it would be a rewarding experience.

I spent weeks preparing for the performance. I practiced painting with a rope and harness, and I worked on developing techniques for painting on an unstable surface. I also worked on developing a concept for the performance. I wanted to create a painting that would capture the feeling of being suspended in the air, and the sense of freedom and possibility that comes with being at such a high altitude.

On the day of the performance, I was nervous but excited. I knew that I was ready for the challenge. I climbed to the top of the 40-meter wall and began to paint. The wind was whipping at my face, and the canvas was swaying in the breeze, but I was able to focus on my painting. I lost myself in the creative process, and the hours flew by.

When I finished the painting, I was exhausted but exhilarated. I had pushed myself to my limits, and I had created something truly unique. The painting was a reflection of my personal journey, and it was a celebration of my passion for painting and for heights.

I am grateful for the opportunity to have created this performance/canvas. It was a challenging but rewarding experience, and it has helped me to grow as a painter and as a person. I hope that my work will inspire others to push their boundaries and to pursue their passions.
