Love Your City With the “Humping Pact”

We heard pimpin' all over the world wasn't easy, but who knew humping all over the world could be just as big of a project? It doesn't sound easy, but someone is thankfully tackling the larger-than-life task. This gives a whole new meaning to the phrase "loving your city."

These two guys have found a way to pay respect to the cities and centers they love by giving them a nice, long hump. After all, it's the way we show other humans our love, right? They've traveled most of Europe to perform "suspended act[s] of simulated stimulation toward the environment," and they've documented nearly every experience for your eager eyes.

And because no one could explain their mission as eloquently as the creators themselves, you can take their word for it:

Using only two bodies multiplied across various landscapes, we attempt to create an aesthetic meditation on the human desire to believe in the futile and to conceive the impossible. Our coming together is a tribute to dysfunctional spaces that still emanate creative potential. We build an intimate and personal relationship with space and its architecture, being loyal to its demands and dedicated within our efforts. We want to release the tensions present within the structures that we encounter and channel them through the convulsed human body.

Enjoy the worldwide humping!
