Who made these statues?

During the Summer of 2003 a not very famous artist was permitted to place 1000 statues made from soda cans (mostly Coke) around Stillersee Lake near Zermatt, Switzerland.

See a photograph of the statues.

We were there at that time and took lots of pictures. We did not record the artist's name. Can anyone help? (Reply to: lwiner9@yahoo.com)
