Minimum Monument

'Minimum Monument' is a very moving display of over 5,000 figures made out of ice. All of the statues are placed by members of the public on the steps of Chamberlain Square where they slowly melt. It is both a very moving work of art to see and to participate in.

There's a foreword by the artist Néle Azevedo here.

There are more pictures form the Birmingham Mail's photographer here .
