Sand Animation

Sand animation is the name given to a style of live performance art in which the performer creates a series of images using sand; a process which is achieved by applying sand to a surface and then rendering images by drawing lines and figures in the sand with one's hands. To increase visibility and to add further artistic aesthetic, a sand animation performer will often use the aid of an overhead projector or lightboard.

...and this one by Ferenc Cakó. It is a video of his live performance at SICAF 2003, in Seoul, South Korea.

I remeber seeing a mail about a guy who makes incredible pictures with the dust on car windshields.. He knows that all that effort last only till next wash! but still he takes pleasure in doing it.. I guess this is similar as well..

In paris I used to see people making painting with spray.. not only the result but also the process is very facinating..
