Brazilian artist, NÃ©le Azevedo, has created the Minimum Monument project, which is a critical reading of the monument in contemporary cities. In her series of ice sculpture installations called the Army of Melting Men. â€œThe homage is rendered to the anonymous,â€ the artist says. â€œThe ice bodies disappear in the city, in a shared experience.â€

NÃ©le Azevedo makes the ice sculptures by filling molds with waterand freezing them. Each sculpture is then individually retouched before shipping and installation. Initially the installations started as single figures in public spaces and over time they grew.
