The problem of uneven road surfaces is also common in other countries. Although this approach will definitely not work in Taiwan, we can still look at how foreign artists do it. Jim Bachor used mosaic tiles to "whitewash peace". The originally ugly potholes turned into flat roads full of colorful flowers. When the weather is clear, you can still see the beautiful tiles shining with light!
Since Chicago last year experienced a severe winter that was rare in 30 years, the originally poor road surface has cracked and formed many potholes due to extreme changes in temperature. The preliminary total number is at least 600,000. The large number not only hinders The city appearance and even the potential accidental crisis of driving traffic, but it seems that the authorities have not taken any action yet, so Jim Bachor jumped out to use art to reflect the problem, so that non-Chicago people can know that the local area needs to be solved through his creations dilemma.
This is Jim Bachors creation last year. It uses mosaic tiles to spell out the words "POTHOLE" to remind people that this is not a warm and interesting installation art, but a big pothole that may make you fall into the street. Hole!
In fact, this method of creation is a bit wasteful. Firstly, the cost of mosaic bricks is not low. Secondly, this flat road is only temporary and not as strong as a professional road filling project. As long as it rains, The road surface will still be muddy and loose after the rain washes away the soil, but Jim Bachor still insists on this street creation, and also records the street location of each work on his official website.I really admire his persistence.
