many city councils put repairing potholes in pavements and roads,
near the bottom of their 'to do' list, photographs ememem.flacking,
but in France and a few other countries, here is the good news,
Ememem is on
hand to fill those holes,
using a blend
of street art and contemporary art while recalling the traditional Japanese
kintsugi, the art of repairing by sublimating,
he travels looking for places to repair,
in his
studio, Ememem creates replicas of his sidewalk plasters, exhibited in
galleries and international contemporary art fairs, and he has exhibited at more than a few,
including the Paris Art
Fair with the Italian Gallery (Grand Palais ephemeral, 2021), Urban Art Fair
with the ErbK Gallery (Paris, 2020), Solo Show in Lyon (2020, 2019, 2018) and
exhibitions. group at "Ceramic NOW!" (Paris, 2021), "Low
Tech" Meyrin (Geneva, 2021), and "Nuart" (Stavanger, Norway,
2018), to see more of his work have a look at his Instagram page, all I can say is looking at the roads in England, he would have so many lifetimes of work to do, not to mention the local council would most probably sue him for vandalising their potholes!
