Often it takes only a simple idea, coupled with enthusiasm, to create something extraordinary. British light artist Bruce Munro uses discarded or recycled materials for his astonishing, large-scale installations, which are all self-funded. For his open-air work, CDSea, he asked the general public to donate old CDs to him. Soon, he was flooded with donations — 586,238 CDs, to be precise.

The artist and 140 of his friends and colleagues set the weekend of the 19th and 20th June 2010 aside to lay the CDs out on a 10-acre field in the village of Long Knoll, Wiltshire, in the English countryside. Arranged alongside one another in gentle waves, hundreds of thousands of CDs formed a glittering, silver “sea” reflecting the light of the sun and the moon. In the middle is a meandering, river-like footpath set according to Munro’s design, which divides the 1,290-square-foot sea

The result was stunning, and the installation, which ran for almost two months, attracted many visitors. At the location, the proverbial (and literal) grass grew over the one-of-a-kind installation, while birds played with it by flipping over the CDs.

Thus, nature — the great recycler — reclaimed the open-air gallery, and the installation was eventually dismantled somewhat before its time. Nevertheless, it remained in the minds of the visitors who saw the splendid artwork and the volunteers who created it, and is preserved in these wonderful photos.
