An aerial view shows a giant landart fresco by French-Swiss artist Saype, painted for the 9th step of his worldwide "Beyond Walls" project in Sea Point, Cape Town, South Africa, on Tuesday January 19, 2021. Three frescoes were created using approximately 1000 liters of biodegradable pigments made out of charcoal, chalk, water and milk proteins. The "Beyond Walls" project aims at creating the largest symbolic human chain around the world, promoting values such as togetherness, kindness and openness to the world. Here in Cape Town this step was motivated by the country's persisting need for reunification. Three frescoes representing widely different populations and realities within the city were created in Sea Point (6000 Sq. m), the Philippi township (800 Sq. m) and the Langa township (800 Sq. m).
