(CNN) In a scene straight out of a "Walking Dead" nightmare, Hamburg's streets teemed with "zombies" in a statement over political participation ahead of Friday's G20 summit. A performance piece orchestrated by the 1,000 Gestalten (1,000 figures) collective saw 1,000 actors descend upon the city's center on Wednesday, shuffling and clawing through the streets in eerie silence before a single demonstrator shed his zombie facade to reveal colorful clothes beneath. In a two-hour show, hundreds took part in a public appeal for more humanity and self-responsibility ahead of the G20 summit. a 1,000 Gestalten spokesman said in a statement. The days-long performance piece reached its climax on Wednesday evening.
