Mont Blanc to Mont Rouge?!

this isn't it. but this is what this guy does. he PAINTS icebergs and mountains (with biodegradable paint). CRAZY.

so his next project will be to climb Mont Blanc and paint the tip of it red.

"The artist refused to reveal the exact date for his project so as 'not to give police any help.'

'My aim is to transform this mythical mountain of Mont Blanc into a Mountain Red and establish a sovereign state, the 'Pink State'' ~ Marco Evaristti

According to the 43-year-old artist, the purpose of his "Mont Blanc Project" is to raise questions such as: "Who owns nature? Who owns the water in the lakes, the snow on the ground, the flowers in the fields and the trees in the rain forests?".

Evaristti said he has the "right" to "create a non-violent state of pluralism and tolerance" on the mountain, which "doesn't belong to France alone."
"As France has taken the right to conduct nuclear testing in French Polynesia thousands of kilometres away, it would be a clear case of double-standards if they now prevented me from occupying a small piece of land for peaceful purposes," he said.

The stunt was not expected to be well-received by the mayor of Chamonix, Michel Charlet, who in December last year called the project "stupid and illegal."

The artist said earlier he had put together a 15-strong team to lug some 1,200 litres (320 gallons) of paint mixed with water up one of Mont Blanc's peaks where the liquid will be poured out to create a red mark measuring 2,500 square metres (27,000 square feet).
The artist will foot the project's 50,000-euro (66,000-dollar) bill himself.

Often in the headlines for his provocative projects, Evaristti caused an outcry in 2000 with an exhibit in Denmark's Trapholt modern art museum that featured gold fish swimming in blenders. Evaristti's exhibit gave visitors the choice of switching on the machine.
"I wanted people to confront their consciences, their inner judgement, their instincts, to press the button of death or not," the artist said at the time."
