Concrete Wallpaper

Commissioned for Market Estate Project, the site-installation attempts to show how to decorate and regenerate outdoor spaces, using materials that might work in harmony with natural surroundings, adopted as a natural extension of them. The outcome is a 'Concrete Wallpaper', screen printed in the stairwell of an old estate in North London and conceived as both art piece and urban regeneration.
Screen printed with photo catalytic cement, in reaction with light it works as a catalyst, dissolving pollutants in the air. Acting as a second skin, the pattern itself could ultimately contribute to clean the environment around.
