Underground City

Posted by on Jul 29, 2011 in ART, DESIGN, NEWS AND EVENTS

Berlin artist, EVOL created a miniature underground city in rural Hamburg, Germany. Created as a project for Ms. Dockville arts and music festival. The project was completed after eight days and will be on display till until the end of the festival on August 14th.

Changing it up, this is EVOL’s first time creating this in an rural setting. “As I came [to the site] first, that’s what I found: endless meadow, trees and blue sky. Not exactly what I play with usually. So I decided to cut open the idyll, and pretend there is no endless meadow, but only rooftop-gardens of the disgust underneath.”

The working of these miniature cities create a passageway that is outlined in stenciled images of walls and windows similar to that of which you would see if walking amongst skyline buildings. The passageway is created by digging underground and then lining the void space with walling. Now that it is all complete, explore the underground world.
