About Imagination and Reality Ilustrazioa

Leiho-eranskailu handi honek errealitatea eta irudimena nahasten diren tokia ilustratzen du, esku-hartze mediko baten ondoren norbanako baten bizitzaren inpresioa sortzeko. Ilustrazioa eraikin ikusgarri honen barruan beirari itsatsita dago, eta 10.000 mm baino gehiagoko altuera du. Artelan hau irisgarritasuna kontuan hartuta sortu zen. Artelana leiho-espazio batean instalatu da, leiho-espazioak eraikinetik kanpotik ikusteko irisgarriak direlako. Horrela, herritarrek artelana beren autotik ikusi ahal izango dute, haien muga fisikoak hori eskatzen badute.

Cork city is host to incredible street art and this piece of artwork had to stand up to the artwork that already exists in the city while also being respectful of the host building.
