Last week-end we were in Zürich to build up an instalation at the Grand Gallery, and another one at the Rimini (really nice bath in the center of the town) which is also the Nike’s HQ during the Euro 2008 for broadcating games and partying!
Was just a real cool week-end ended up with our Zürich friends at the Leten bath, swiming in the wild Limat river with crazy kids jumping everywhere from bridge and roofs!!

2 weeks ago we were exhibiting in Basel with the Nike 1/1 project and last week it was in Paris here are some picts.

Here is the first picture of a serie about “Sneakers Sacralization”.
Im starting a work about this theme, this picture has been realized (by: +41 //DIY feat. Florian Chevillard our gifted French Intern) for Cellophane’s communication!
It talks about sneaker’s cult, through a representation of a prayer’s monument

Cellophane is certainly one of the best sneakers shop in Switzerland, we start to collaborate with them, so i will soon introduce you this store more deeply.
