Tetris: Art Edition
Back in 2015, a very excited me accepted an invitation to be part of a Cuban art collective show at Art Soy Gallery in Santiago de Cuba, Cuba. Essentially, there were four artists, four walls, and one wall dedicated to my work.
The Dilemma: "Yay! I'm so excited! I'm going to show my photographic work in Cuba together with local artists! But... wait a second... how on earth am I going to fit 17 pictures inside a 20kg check-in bag without damaging any? And I still need to include the usual tribe treasures (aka family gifts), my homo sapien garments and, of course, my cherished camera gizmos..."
The Solution: Cheap black and white laser printing, A3 hot laminating, and an absurd amount of the miracle problem solver... Blue-Tack!
Gather 'round, everyone! Marvel at how I turned packing chaos into a game of Tetris: Art Edition.
Enjoy the masterpiece!
Enjoy the masterpiece!
