Art - Huge work of art created on dam wall in the Harz Mountains
At the largest drinking water reservoir in Germany, the Rappbodetalsperre in the Harz region, artist Klaus Dauven is currently creating a large graffito. According to the Kärcher company's announcement on Wednesday, the initial preparations for the artwork have already begun. The work is expected to last approximately three to four weeks.
Artist Klaus Dauven is known for his large-format "reverse graffiti," where he removes deliberate dirt from buildings using high-pressure cleaners, resulting in artworks. The latest graffiti images have appeared on dams in Luxembourg, France, Japan, and South Korea.
Twelve years ago, Dauven had already created a work of art at the Saxon reservoir in Eibenstock. According to the artist, the graffiti last between two and six years. The new image is set to appear on the 400-meter-wide and 100-meter-high dam in the Harz.
Artists, like Klaus Dauven, create works of art such as graffiti, often using innovative methods like reverse graffiti. His upcoming artwork will be displayed at the Rappbodetalsperre in Germany's Harz region, specifically in Lower Saxony-Anhalt, similar to his previous work at the Saxon reservoir in Eibenstock twelve years ago. This latest graffito, estimated to last between two and six years, will be visible on the 400-meter-wide and 100-meter-high dam.
