London Street Carpet (Proposal), Cambridge Circus
 
London Street Carpet > An idea by AMPLIFIER/Florian Kremb
The defined areas of yellow crossed line markings on London/UK streets are very particular and have always reminded me of carpets laid out all over town. I think, in the hectic everyday life on the streets, people do not draw a more poetic meaning from these rather than the function they fulfil. That is why I thought that it would be very beautiful, if on a particular road crossing in London, carpet fringes would be painted on two sides in a very random, homey way. It is an idea for a public art project dealing with finding beauty and poetry within the everyday and banal that would make people more aware of their perception of space in a “humourous” way.
