The Venezuelan capital city provided a setting for this piece by the Spanish collective. It consisted of over 2,000 transparent bags filled with plants, water, lights and artificial fish. These were set up in the urbane center to [resemble a river](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/papaloapan-river), drawing cosmopolitan crowds to contemplate the value of natural resources such as water and ecosystems. The installation doubled as a river and [tiny aquariums](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/the-aquapraa) as visitors were invited to take home the bags that resembled sacks of money. This resemblance was no coincidence as the artists meant to create a piece that stimulated discussion on the monetary value of natural resources. The result of this Portable River by Luzinterruptus was visually striking with an environmentally friendly message of awareness. ## Trend Insights (Trend Hunter) - Score: 2.1/10 - Popularity: 40% | Activity: 16% | Freshness: 8% - Audience gender: 50% men, 50% women - Primary generations: Millennial, Gen X - Top markets: North America, Europe, Asia ## Categories [Trend Hunter](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends) > [Art & Design](https://www.trendhunter.com/artdesign) > [Modern](https://www.trendhunter.com/modern) ## Key Themes ### What Makes This Trend Stand Out - **Environmental Art Installations:** Opportunity for artists to create visually striking installations that promote environmental awareness. - **Value of Natural Resources:** Opportunity for businesses to educate consumers on the importance and monetary value of natural resources. - **Eco-friendly Messaging:** Opportunity for brands to convey environmentally friendly messages through creative and impactful means. ### Sectors Adopting This - **Art and Design:** Disruptive innovation opportunity for artists and designers to incorporate environmental themes into their work. - **Education and Advocacy:** Opportunity for organizations to educate the public about the value and preservation of natural resources. - **Marketing and Advertising:** Opportunity for brands to utilize eco-friendly messaging to connect with environmentally conscious consumers. ## Related on Trend Hunter - [Floating Cultural Plazas](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/aquapraca.md) - [Artfully Made Floating Plazas](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/aquapraa.md) - [Mesmerizing Fluid Art Installations](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/flow-fountain.md) - [Monumental Air Installation](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/iwagumi-air-scape.md) - [Gas Rig Art Installations](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/striking-art-installation.md) - [Tubed Immersive Organ-Like Installations](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/organlike-installation.md) - [Intricate Lighting Sculptures](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/objects-of-common-interest1.md) - [Dynamic Interactive Lighting Installations](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/zava.md) - [Floating Amazon Plaza](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/the-aquapraa.md)
