Street artist Fra.Biancoshock has created a conceptual street art installation as apart of the Memorie Urbane 2015 festival in Gaeta, Italy. Conceived around the idea of the "artist-in-residence," the '24/7' piece is an ironic criticism of the art world at large and a statement on the differences between the two.
Featuring five levels of scaffolding, '24/7' has been constructed to display five compartments of the street artist's life. Given that scaffolding is an indispensable tool for any street art endeavor, the installation is particularly poignant in its suggestion that it is more of a lifestyle than just an art form.
The Memorie Urbane Street Art Festival is an annual gathering in Italy that is currently in its fourth year.
