The Art Project
Discover the global initiative to photograph a portrait of one person from every country and create an unbroken line painted by the entire world.
Each person photographed for the project is asked to paint a line across a piece of blank paper.
Quest of Sages is a multidisciplinary project following an artistic journey to photograph a portrait of one person from every country in the world.
Using the platinum palladium process, their portrait is printed on top of their painting, creating a collaborative work of art.
Once all 195 countries are completed, the images will be displayed as an art installation by placing the portraits next to each other and connecting the line segments together, ultimately creating one unbroken line the entire world painted.
