Color yarn: draw attention to the condition of the sidewalks

Color yarn: draw attention to the condition of the sidewalks

Unimportant condition of sidewalks and footpathsAre inherent not only in post-Soviet countries. Pits, cracks and potholes can often be found in Paris, although the state of the automobile is expensive there, of course, much better than ours ... But not about this now. And about an interesting artistic project Juliana Santacruz Herrera on the streets of Paris, designed to fill bright strings in the urban fabric of sidewalks and roads. The artist began this project of improvementParis, selectively decorating the cracks and pits of the sidewalks with twisted yarns of all colors of the rainbow. It seems that the threads are living, creeping and growing, creating strange formations, so reminiscent of forest moss. Is this pure pleasure orA functional solution - a topic for discussion, although, perhaps, Parisians consider these potholes now less destructive or at least well marked on the road. Still it is unpleasant to please your foot in the hole on a run or enter the pothole on rollers. In what form this bright decoration of the streets of Paris will be after a couple of months of stay in the rain, legs and wheels - it's easy to predict, but I really like the idea.
