Title: Carpet of leaves, 2005
Technique: intervention, collage and temporal installation
Materials: papers, ink, stickers, leaves, prints, pavement
Description: leaves glued to the pavement and visit cards distributed

Afternoon intervention at the Gran Via (Barcelona). Autumn leaves ’04 pasted into the sidewalk in January ’05; the ephemeral organic leaves are trapped between transparent plastic and opaque pavement. Leaves were collected months before installing them on the urban space. Visit cards with black and white printed image were distributed to the passers-by to distract their walking path and step on the leaves.
