A Concrete Fence Stuck in Textures


“Can’t Place This Here” is a collaboration among two Russian street artwork teams: Very hot Singles and SPEKTR. This piece was designed at CHÖ General public Artwork Festival in Yekaterinburg, Russia.

The artwork is an architectural intervention: an legendary Soviet concrete fence panel (recognised as PO-2) is trapped in textures of a real concrete barrier, and stands as a metaphor for the city’s excessive fencing. We believe that a fence is a symbol of division. A line among “us” and “them”, between “inside” and “outside”. This is why we believe it is bizarre to see so quite a few boundaries dividing our general public spaces”. In accordance to the Kommersant newspaper, much more than 2.5 million kilometers of barriers experienced been erected across Russia in the earlier 25 several years.

Additional: Incredibly hot Singles, SPEKTR

The movie activity-like syntax of the piece leaves passers-by emotion as if they are inside a metropolis-constructing simulator. My colleague Andrey Kolokolov describes the plan behind the project: “There’s a function you get in some video games, like techniques and city-builders (Stronghold, Warcraft, SimCity, and so forth.) called ‘structural overlap.’ It comes about when you’re in building mode, and check out to place one construction on best of one more. When this occurs, the construction you want to put lights up purple, and the sport tells you: ‘Can’t position this here’. Our ‘fence in a fence’ is a statement: there are enough boundaries in the city presently, and no need to have for additional. Now extra than at any time, we have to have to be united, not divided. We really should be building bridges, not barriers”.

The piece is based on a unique visual strategy. Though the notion itself might be very simple, earning fences intersect is a difficult business: the panels want to glimpse like they’ve arrive jointly accidentally but be aesthetically pleasing at the very same time. The SPEKTR and Hot Singles artists meticulously modeled and calculated how the two 3D objects wanted to intersect to make the illusion that viewers are in a online video recreation totally convincing. Repeating pixelated graffiti on the panels also contribute to this result, creating the texture tiled.
