in acknowledgement of the devastating earthquakes that affected his home town of christchurch in 2011.
the images are plastered on various buildings around the city, providing a temporary and allegorical renovation for the collapsed structures,
displaying scenes of complete and functioning spaces that was known prior to the magnitude 6.3 natural disaster in february.
hewson uses establishments that have been destroyed and now listed for imminent demolition, giving the spaces ephemeral
and symbolic recognition for the event.

i came across this project during my stay in Shanghai last summer, when i was an intern at Wilddesign and i spent most of my time there on designboom since i weren't being that much of a help :L
i was really impressed by the work, visually it looks amazing and it brings life to the once destroyed buildings as well as the area surrounding it. Also i guess im just a fan of crazy large scale works....
