The concrete mixers of the party
If you thought that the only joy that a concrete trucks it is when it arrives at the work in the hour that you have demanded…! You are mistaken !. It is already very boring to have a truck that only transports concrete, you have to give it more opportunities to be able to take advantage of all its functionalities or that is what the street artist Benedetto Bufalino thought.
Although the main function of the concrete mixer be supplanting by a mechanization that concrete mixing (Cement, water and aggregates) manually performed by operators on a construction site, obtaining better qualities, a greater quantity and more quickly.
That own functionality, what is performed by a cylindrical tank constantly swiveling at the rear of the concrete mixer trucksIn fact, it can be used for many other things depending on who looks at it, among them, being able to have a gigantic mobile disco ball.
The urban art practiced by the artist Benedetto Bufalino leaves no one indifferent. His obsession… What happens when we change the volume or the use of everyday things?
This is the basis with which the artist considers transforming urban landscapes to surprise observers or transforming everyday objects, adapting them to a different use, always from a perspective with a touch of humor.
Let us remember that we have already shown some of the artist's proposals in the article urban street art where, for example; he created a huge wooden bench of disproportionate dimensions in a park or a mobile caravan that rises above the trees and buildings to enjoy better views. These are just some examples where the artist's imagination breaks with the traditional visual of objects or the urban furniture of our streets.
This time it's time to 'dance' by turning an outdoor play into a vibrant party nightclub. And we started transforming the construction machinery like this… gluing many reflective tiles! On concrete mixer tank.
We already have a disco ball that illuminates urban spaces and undoubtedly activates the landscape with a concrete mixer vehicle, and why not, the inhabitants of the city when the light of the streets reflects on the tank that rotates constantly.
Bufalino seeks to enliven the urban landscape with his comic interventions and artistic gestures surprising pedestrians with great urban creativity.
