# Sublime Pink Islands Christo et Jeanne-Claude Creates a Colorful Installation in Miami By Meghan Young | Published 2016-04-11 | Art & Design Source: Trend Hunter, https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/pink-islands References: [fubiz.net](http://www.fubiz.net/en/2016/04/06/sublime-pink-islands-installation-in-miami/) & [fr.wikipedia.org](https://fr.wikipedia.org/wiki/Christo_et_Jeanne-Claude) As though straight out of a Dr. Seuss book, these pink islands are a real [art installation](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/flower-market-20) and not the product of Photoshop or other manipulation programs. Although at first it looks like sand was perhaps turned pink, the pink islands are actually surrounded by a belt of fuchsia plastic. Eleven in total were impressively lined with this material. Created by artistic duo Christo et Jeanne-Claude, the pink islands can be found along the [Biscayne Bay in Miami, Florida](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/miami-art-week). They will be existing in this sublime state for a total of two weeks. Essentially ushering in a new season a fun and festive way, the pink islands are imaginative and creative as well as an incredible stunt in general. Too bad they can't stay forever. ## Trend Insights (Trend Hunter) - Score: 5.4/10 - Popularity: 75% | Activity: 78% | Freshness: 8% - Audience gender: 50% men, 50% women - Primary generations: Millennial, Gen X - Top markets: North America ## Categories [Trend Hunter](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends) > [Art & Design](https://www.trendhunter.com/artdesign) ## Key Themes ### Key Themes Behind This Trend - **Colorful Installations:** The trend of creating vibrant, eye-catching art installations is growing, providing opportunities for artists to showcase their creativity and engage audiences. - **Temporary Art:** The trend of creating temporary art installations allows for unique and immersive experiences, encouraging audiences to appreciate and engage with art in new ways. - **Environmental Art:** The trend of using natural elements in art installations, such as plastic belts surrounding islands, highlights environmental themes and encourages discussions about sustainability. ### Where This Applies - **Art and Design:** Artists and designers can capitalize on the trend of creating colorful installations by developing unique concepts and collaborating with public spaces or events. - **Tourism and Hospitality:** The temporary nature of art installations like the pink islands can attract tourists and enhance the appeal of destinations, creating new opportunities for tourism and hospitality industries. - **Environmental and Sustainability:** The use of materials like plastic belts in art installations highlights the need for innovative approaches to environmental issues, presenting opportunities for companies focused on sustainability and recycling. ## Related on Trend Hunter - [Pink-Hued Shipping Container Homes](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/pink-shipping-container-homes.md) - [3D-Printed Star Art Installations](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/miami-reef-star.md) - [Orb Lighting Installations](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/mangrove-island.md) - [Pink-Tinted Artful Concept Stores](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/moco-concept-store.md) - [Pink Winter Pop-Ups](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/pink-pier.md) - [Surrealist Pink Pop-Ups](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/the-unreal-popup-shop.md) - [Interactive Marine Ecosystem Sculptures](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/marine-ecosystem-sculptures.md) - [Luminous Gloss-Inspired Installations](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/miami-art-week.md) - [Colorfully Inflatable Art Installations](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/blowup-art-the-hague.md)
