 Parallel 45º 25′ North. Canada – USA

 

 Parallel 45º 25′ North is a project consisting of going around the world on this terrestrial parallel (France, Italy, Croatia, Serbia-Montenegro, Romania, Russia, Kazakhstan, China, Mongolia, USA and Canada) marking it every 100 km with a metal plate where it reads

 45º 25 NParallel.

 

 Paralelo 45º 25' N is:

- a radical drawing idea

-a geographical exploration mission

- a discipline

- a line where Art and Life come together

 

Idea de Norte is part of the project Parallel 45º 25′ N that passes through  Canada  and USA.

The trip from Chedabucto (Nova Scotia) in a westerly direction to Netarts Bay (Tillamok-Oregon) has lasted almost three months during which we have placed 50 plaques and taken nearly 4,000 photographs.
