Some mysterious yellow squares with signs saying "FKK" or "Tabuzone" appeared on Rathhausplatz(City Hall Plaza) and Königsplatz (King Plaza) in Augsburg.
In the past several days many visitors of the city have been anticipating what on earth are these squares? In the picture above you can see some with "W-Lan Free" and "picknicdecke", very funny.
Now the secret is revealed, it's an art work of two design students in the college. One is called Antonia Kern(left), 20 years old, another is Janina Hellmig, 21 years old.They are not making jokes out of boredom, it's part of their serious art projects in their course called "visual communication". The task is to redefine the boundary of open space without causing any damage.
Here they are, sitting in the "picknic corner", schoen!
They didn't do it at night, well, if I were going to do something like this, I'd definitely choose night, but these girls went there in the morning 8:30, spent 1 hour to stick yellow tapes on the ground, and they were actually spotted by police, but since the latter didn't say anything, they take it as permitted. Well done!
Soon people took full advantage of their art work, started resting and hanging out there in the squares, the girls got a surprisingly good response and wide attention.
It's nothing like provocation, they just want to bring more color to the city, to the Rathausplatz they all love hanging out at.

As you can see, even without the yellow squares, young people have always been sitting there in groups spontaneously, now these squares bring them more legitimacy and exclusively occupying feeling while sitting. Hey I want to sit there too, it's fun! Darf ich auch hierhin sitzen?
