What is painted on the wall of your apartment
building or school? Do you like it?
A Wall of Books
Two Dutch artists, Jan Is De Man and Deef Feed, worked together and turned the wall of an apartment building into a big bookcase.
The apartment building is in Utrecht, the fourth largest city in the Netherlands. Jan knows the residents on its ground floor well. They wanted him to paint on their building to bring people in the neighborhood together. Jan’s first idea was to paint a big smiling face. “People may become happier when they see a smile every day,” he thought. But soon he found it was too simple. He studied the shape of the building and decided to paint a big bookcase.
Jan and Deef asked the building’s residents for their favorite books. They got many answers. Finally, they put eight languages and cultures together in the painting. They spent one week working full-time to take the idea from paper to the wall of the apartment building. Now many people like taking photos in front of the fantastic bookcase.
