Monument-Inspired Large-Scale Installations

PichiAvo Builds the 'Per Ofrenar' Installation

Spanish street art duo PichiAvo created a large-scale installation titled 'Per ofrenar' for the Fallas de Valencia festival. This piece took on the form of an Ionic temple, inspired by the Temple of Athena Nike in Athens, and was on view until March 19th at Borrull Street 31 in central Valencia. The piece was burned down with the closing of the festival.

The 'Per ofrenar' monument was constructed using traditional fallas techniques and materials, primarily wood and paper, by artisan Paco Ribes. PichiAvo's large-scale installation featured an interior altar built from surplus paper from the printing of the duo's book, Our Odyssey. This composition propped up a perfectly balanced scale flanked by two wax candles representing Classical Art and Graffiti.
