Crosswalk project is a team work by Mery Godigna Collet and Luis R Gutierrez.

Art can be lying at your feet, (literally).

Street crossings should be more than asphalt safety keyboards. We want to transform these pedestrian passages into eye-grabbing spectacles.

Our goal is to attract and grow new audiences, establish or expand the city identity as a modern and vibrant arts destination.

In daily life, we become habitual beings, who follow our own urban routines without questioning. We want to create a “surprise” in such an ordinary event as crossing a street.

We want to give a sense of unique to utilitarian urban elements and make a more joyful urban landscape.

OBJECTIVES OF THE PROJECT

Add a creative touch around the city.

Increase the amount of art in public places.

Create unique street art to give pedestrians fun reasons to cross the road by re-imagining the white on black format, since those are the colors already used in the urban vocabulary.

Create crosswalks in which design is related to the specific activities of the location.

Create these works with proven and long lasting materials
