A permanent public artwork, the first made on big ceramic #slabs, that takes art to #reggioemilia onto the street, outdoors, to enable everyone to access it: it is a ceramic photo-mosaic, 16 metres high and 6 metres wide, in which twelve thousand photographs sent in by members of the public in a single large image. 

The #ceramics which make up the work - each of the thirty slabs is a one-off piece, making up part of the large image - were produced in partnership with #Marazzi, which welcomed Fontcuberta as a guest during the production and digital printing phases. The work’s design and installation as a ventilated wall structure was handled by the City of Reggio Emilia, which took charge of the overall project for the area’s redevelopment, and Marazzi Engineering, the company’s specialist division.
