It turns out that the problem of bad roads is not only in our country, but in much richer and more developed countries. For example, in France, where even in Paris the condition of many roads leaves much to be desired. But Paris would not have been Paris if they had not taken a creative approach to this misunderstanding. For example, as an artist Juliana Santacruz Herrerausing for patching holes on your roads knitting talent.
Both in our country and in the West, bad roads worry absolutely everyone, except for representatives of city and state authorities. Therefore, you have to drive along broken streets, walk along sidewalks that have been torn apart by time. And the only way to draw the attention of the authorities to this problem is to show it so vividly that it will be simply impossible not to notice it. This is what the artist Juliana Santacruz Herrera did in Paris.
Apparently, Herrera loves to knit. And, I must say, she does it very well. Because this artist knitted the multi-colored plugs for holes in the asphalt. As a result, problematic, broken roads turned into real works of art, bright and unusual!
Moreover, this road upgrade was made by Juliana Herrera not in one or two places, but en masse, in several dozen corners of Paris. And, if it is customary for us to scold the so-called "patchwork" for its poor quality and unreliability, then in this case they want to admire!
And I also want to admire how today's artists are able to creatively and modernly revive the seemingly almost dead art forms. Such as, for example, knitting. They've learned to turn it into more than just crocheting and knitting. Take this roadwork from Juliana Santacruz Herrera or knitted street art from Magda Sayeg.
Well, how can you not remember the patches for the old walls from the LEGO bricks, created by Jan Vormann (Jan Vormann)!
