The Big Launch!

This weekend saw The Big Lunch launch in London with a spectacular 3D image by world-famous 3D artist Kurt Wenner.

The five-by-five metre 3D masterpiece, took a total of four hours to create and sees giant sandwiches, fruit, cakes, burgers, buns and cups of tea breaking free from a Big Lunch table and “floating up” into the hands of the surrounding Big Lunchers. Kurt said “The scene I have created is vibrant, colourful and joyous, born from people of all walks of life coming together and enjoying the unique community and friendship feel of many Big Lunch events.” See how the image was made in this video, or watch an interview with Kurt Wenner.

Eden Project and Big Lunch co-founder Tim Smit who attended Friday’s launch told us, “We believe it’s important to see neighbours and communities come together to break down barriers and build bridges with each other. It’s time we realise that our streets are more than just pavements but solid foundations for our future happiness. Holding a Big Lunch is the perfect opportunity to take the first step towards this.”

The Big Lunch 2010 is now only eight weeks away, so if you’re inspired to take part, visit www.thebiglunch.com for more information.
