decorative potholes by juliana santacruz herrera in paris, france

artist juliana santacruz herrera has transformed the streets of paris through her visual intervention
using braided strips of colourful fabric. seeing the many cracks and potholes of the city as
the 'canvas' of her project, the site-specific pieces are a playful addition to the grey urban setting.
long lengths of dyed fabrics are braided and then coiled into the shallow breaks in the street.
often made up of a combination of bright colours, the resulting effect creates a graphic and
visually-arresting contrast to the city's palette.

PLEEEASE !!! come to enjoy my city too !!!!!!!!!!
it's too obvious that filling the city's potholes is not the responsibility of one random citizen.......
but i am replying because you offer up one of my least favorite logics in the entire world.
let's be honest here: how many people seriously have a right to judge other people's use of time?
in this artist's "spare time", she brought a little bit of magic/inspiration/happiness/whatever to the 875 people
who "liked" this article and the probably thousands of people who have seen the yarn in person;
as well as, to speak to your need for practicality, temporarily filled in a number of potholes
(the yarn looks to be doing about as good a job as cement would; unconventional: yes; practical: seems to be).
what have you been up to in your spare time?
Looks terrific, is engaging and certainly can't be any more of a trip hazard than the holes and cracks
Looks like a clown has been crushed on the floor.
Stupid idea.
