Exquisitely Crumbling Contruction Walls

Exquisitely Crumbling Contruction Walls

January 12, 2010

Photographer Vinny Cornelli talks about an entertaining foray into decay he took last week.  It’s a cool way to look at something with new eyes.

So this collection of images is about walled-off construction zones and the art that can be fostered on these temporary spaces.

When you think about it, even in this tough economy, people are still in the middle of construction projects that are walled-off by these fake plywood walls.  Why not sanction these walls as public, and allow our community to color them up?  They’re ugly as sin otherwise. Well, unless some crappy company illegally pastes posters of the newest Tom Cruise movie.  I say forget that.  Why can’t we all just have some fun, be comfortable in it’s legality, and voice our colorful contributions to the neighborhood we belong?
