Ememem heals these asphalt fractures on roads by transforming them into colourful mosaics using materials like ceramics, wood, and bitumen. He makes it a point to fill everything – from a tiny crack to gaping craters in the pavement with his artistic and colourful ‘bandaids’.
Not only in Lyon, but Ememem’s playful mosaic art can also be found in cities throughout Europe — including Paris, Madrid, Barcelona, and Milan.
