Painting over existing architecture, mass-produced products or discarded objects found in the streets, is part of Bragigand's project ‘Restoring daily life’. By re-painting architecture or objects, he gives them a new function and life as works of art. www.franckbragigand.weebly.com About Dutch Profiles Dutch Profiles is produced by Submarine, an Amsterdam based cross-media production company, that takes a critical, dynamic and often playful look at present-day society.
