Dadissuasori
(in Italian
dissuasori=bollards and dadi=dices)
Intervention on broken
urban furniture / Graffitti
La Pigna, San Remo,
Italy
2010
The bollards were
placed in front of St.Giusepe church in La Pigna, San Remo, Italy to
prevent cars from passing and parking.
At the
moment of the intervention they were randomly displaced (pic.1).

Employing their positioning and dice-like shape, I turned them into
huge dices thrown on the small square to monument the shifting
fortune in the competition between planned urban environment and
personalized appropriation of space (pic.2).

Strangely some
functionary of the church found it blasphemous and painted over the
dots (only) of Dadissuasori, making them even more sad and ugly
(pic.3).

How far an institution, and even more religious institution,
can and should control public space outside its premises?
Dadissuasori were the first permanently installed art piece in public
space in La Pigna, with the potential to turn a sad destruction sight
into landmark.
