Street art as a flip-book:
In/between by Hyuro
{via coelecanth}
Story here: Copenhagen’s Gigantic New Mural Works Like a Flip-Book
from the page
Argentinian street artist Hyuro visited Copenhagen in May 2013 to do a piece on a 271 metre long wall. The piece is called “In/between” and exploits the entire length of the long wall.
Hyuro was selected in a competition held by the creative community ArtRebels in cooperation with the Municipality of Copenhagen. Proposals were submitted from all over the world from South America, US, Europe, Russia and Asia. But in the end the jury decided on Hyuro and her proposal ”In / between” as the winner.
