Walking through the streets of Florence is like going on a treasure hunt if you love street art. Each local artist has his trademarks: Clet repurposes street signs, Blub portrays famous figures under water and K. (aka Exit) invites you to dream or escape with his expressive little stick figures. Some of his messages are political but most are very poetic, playing with a feature on the wall, often featuring a red balloon. Old linen was used to try emulate the patina of ancient walls and convey the atmosphere of that charming city.
