Bonom & Lork - Animated streetart - Etterbeek Station

Filed under: the latest - =lloyd= @ 12:07 am

And you thought streetart was online happening abroad? Guess twice, Brusselsbased artists Bonom (*) & Lork made a killer series of works in Etterbeek. Here’s a video of how it looks like, animated by nothing but the train passing by. Ain’t that brilliant?
(Footage shot and uploaded by emich.be.)

This actually has been done before in metrostations in Brussels, only thing that seems to be overlooked in that case is the metro of course always stops in the station, therefore you never get to see the animation … animated (unless you’re a joy-riding metro-driver).

More news about the man called Bonom later on. The area where I rock my nine-to-five seems to have been the centre of Bonom’s former working space. I have no clue where the man is currently residing but I do see his urban footsteps marked around the corner. A whole lot of his old works are just there, in the streets. Heads high, watch it.
