Ememem, the enigmatic French “pavement surgeon,” transforms urban decay into striking public art by filling cracks and potholes with vibrant mosaics—a process he calls “flacking” (from flaque, French for “puddle”). Starting in Lyon in 2011, he has traveled across Europe, embedding colorful tiles in cities like Paris and Barcelona, turning neglected streets into accessible art galleries. Each mosaic serves as a “poem that everyone can read,” celebrating the spirit and history of each location. Ememem’s work not only beautifies but also redefines broken urban spaces, inviting people to see beauty in decay and creating cultural “memory markers” in everyday surroundings. #architecture #art #design #artist #artwork #france #contemporaryart #streetart #creative
