Безумно интересный Арт-проект Педро Райеса.
Проект начат в 2008 году. Сейчас скульптор превратил уже 6700 смертоносных стволов в стильные и эксклюзивные музыкальные инструменты. Автор проекта просто показал как превратить орудие убийства в прекрасный и стильный музыкальный инструмент.

Imagine is a set of 50 musical instruments fabricated out of destroyed weapons - revolvers,shot-guns, machine-guns, etc. This work is a progression of Palas por Pistolas (2008), where 1527 weapons were melted and made into the same number of shovels to plant 1527 trees. In April this year I got a call from the government who had learned about Palas por Pistolas, they told mea public destruction of weapons was to take place in Ciudad Juarez and asked me if I was interested in keeping the metal, which would otherwise have been buried as usual. I accepted the material but I wanted to do something new this time. 6700 weapons, cut into parts and rendered useless, were given to me and I set out to make them intoinstruments.
