French artist Charles Petillon poses for pictures with his artwork made of balloons entitled

A French photographer has strung thousands of balloons inside the Covent Garden Market in the British capital London, creating an art gallery that draws on nature.

The inflatable installation, called Heartbeat, is made up of nearly 100,000 balloons of different shapes and sizes. The artist says the balloons represent rain clouds, a distinguished feature of London weather. He further said balloons have the power to add an alien quality to the covered market. The process of hanging such a large number of balloons took nearly seven days. The exquisite composition will run until September 27.
