The installations feature [250-pound balls](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/grand-ballroom) that are 15 feet high and are placed in various famous landmarks in Antwerp. Whether wedged between grand entrances, underneath buildings, on bridges, staircases, under buildings, next to cars or in castle doorways, the balls are certainly making an eye-catching statement. The Redball project was created and is continued by the American artist Kurt Perschke in order to "access the imagination embedded in all of us." Although unusual, these [playful artistic installations](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/louis-vuitton-octopus) work to invoke curiosity in the people who are viewing them. ## Trend Insights (Trend Hunter) - Score: 0.9/10 - Popularity: 18% | Activity: 1% | Freshness: 8% - Audience gender: 50% men, 50% women - Primary generations: Gen Z, Gen Alpha, Millennial, Gen X - Top markets: North America, Europe, Asia ## Categories [Trend Hunter](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends) > [Art & Design](https://www.trendhunter.com/artdesign) ## Key Themes ### Why This Trend Is Growing - **Public Art Installations:** Opportunity for cities to engage and captivate their communities by incorporating unique and interactive art installations. - **Urban Landmark Marketing:** Potential for landmarks and tourist attractions to leverage artistic installations as a marketing tool to attract visitors and generate buzz. - **Immersive Art Experiences:** Growing demand for immersive art experiences that encourage audience engagement and spark creativity. ### Industries Being Reshaped - **Tourism:** Opportunity for the tourism industry to promote destinations by showcasing unique public art installations. - **Event Management:** Potential for event management companies to incorporate artistic installations to create memorable and engaging experiences for attendees. - **Art Galleries:** Rise in demand for immersive art experiences presents an opportunity for art galleries to curate and showcase interactive installations for visitors. ## Related on Trend Hunter - [Colorfully Inflatable Art Installations](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/blowup-art-the-hague.md) - [Public Playground Installations](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/welcome-little-stranger.md) - [Statement Street Art](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/surreal-street-art-1.md) - [Spiky Inflatable Sculptures](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/inflatable-sculptures1.md) - [Artful Garden Inflatable Spheres](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/this-is-air.md) - [Vibrant City Installations](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/craig-karl2.md) - [Immersive Balloon Experiences](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/balloon-story-popup.md) - [Reflective Hemispherical Theater Stages](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/ball-theater.md) - [Gas Rig Art Installations](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/striking-art-installation.md)
