Recycled Tires Public Art Installations

Artists Octavi Serra, Iago Buceta, and Mateu Targa collaborated on a series of public art installations titled "Pneumàtic", as part of this year’s Ús Barcelona street art festival.



The works were made with cut salvaged tires which were hung in various urban locations around Barcelona’s ‘Tomato District'.
