海外文化：澳大利亞—咖啡拼出“蒙娜麗莎”

【英文原文】

The Mona Lisa, one of the world's most famous paintings, has been recreated with 3,604 cups of coffee - and 564 pints of milk.

The different colours were created by adding no, little or lots of milk to each cup of black coffee.

It measures an impressive 20 feet high and 13 feet wide and took a team of eight people three hours to complete.

It was created for The Rocks Aroma Festival in Sydney, Australia, and seen by 130,000 people who attended the one-day coffee-lovers event.

Elaine Kelly, from event organisers the Sydney Harbour Foreshore Authority, was delighted with the result.

She said: "Each coffee cup was filled with varying amounts of milk to create the different sepia shades of the painting.

"We wanted to create an element of surprise and a sense of fun in the way we engaged with the public.

"Once we had the idea of creating an image out of coffee cups we searched for something iconic to reproduce - and opted for the most iconic painting in history.

"The Mona Lisa has been reproduced so many times in so many different mediums but, as far as we know, never out of coffee.

"The result was fantastic.

"After much planning it was great to see if coming together so well and the 130,000 people who attended the event certainly enjoyed it."

世界最著名畫作之一《蒙娜麗莎》由3604杯咖啡和564品脫牛奶重新演繹。

畫面上不同的色彩是通過不加奶、加一點奶、或者加很多奶的黑咖啡創造出來的。

這幅藝術品令人印象深刻，長20英尺，寬13英尺，一個8人團隊花了3小時才完成。

這幅《蒙娜麗莎》是為在澳大利亞悉尼舉行的巖石區咖啡節而創作的，有13萬人參加了此次為期一天的咖啡愛好者盛會，他們都見證了這件藝術作品。

悉尼港前濱管理局的咖啡節組織者之一伊蓮•凱莉對這一結果很滿意。

她說：“每杯咖啡里都加入了多少不等的牛奶，以調出畫中不同的明暗色彩。”

“我們想在和公眾互動的方式上制造出一些驚喜和樂趣。

“用咖啡杯塑造圖像的想法一產生，我們就開始尋找有代表性的復制對象，最后我們選擇了這副歷史上最具代表性的畫作。

“《蒙娜麗莎》曾經用許多不同的手段被復制，但是，據我們所知，從來沒人用咖啡演繹過《蒙娜•麗莎》。

“結果真是太棒了。

“在做了許多策劃工作之后，看到最終效果這么好，而且來參加盛會的13萬人顯然都很喜歡這幅藝術品，這真是太好了。”
