Walking Men TaipeiVery Fun Park 2018 / Fubon FoundationTaipei, TaiwanMarch 2018 – March 2019
Walking Men Taipei is a site-specific public art installation under the umbrella of Walking Men Worldwide™, which opened in Taipei’s Xinyi District on March 2018, and was on display for one year through March 2019.
This work was realized in collaboration with the Fubon Art Foundation in conjunction with the Very Fun Park 2018 Festival. It joined together over 140 iconic pedestrian traffic light symbols from cities around the world, and wrapped around a 400 meter-long parameter wall, making it the largest Walking Men Worldwide™ installation to date. The work surrounded the construction site of the upcoming Fubon Xinyi A25 Tower, future home to the Fubon Contemporary Art Museum that is being designed by Renzo Piano Building Workshop.
As part of this collaboration and with the unique opportunity of creating site-specific work in the tradition of Taipei’s public environment, 28 ‘walk’ icons have been re-imagined as green wall plants designs!
