Iron and asphalt on cut asphalt
215 x 215 x 600 cm

A cut in the asphalt that rises up in the shape of a portico.

The cutout is six linear meters long and rises to a height of 215 cm. Made of iron and coated with cement and the fragments of asphalt that were removed, the earth beneath the asphalt reappears. The pavement rises, simultaneously framing those who step on it.
