Bench To Bench...

Called ‘Bench to Bench’, Martino Gamper has created pieces of street furniture constructed from recycled materials. The scattering of benches and stools form a trail from Victoria Park to the Olympic Park.

The true nature of Hacney Wick will prevail, like the bench covered in vomited paint shows...( last picture)

Gamper says:

“The obvious local benefit of this commission is the change of the street and its use. Wallis Road didn’t have any place for residents and visitors to sit, rest and meet along the local streets."

He doesn't understand that in Wallis Road there is no need to sit, rest and meet on his benches!
Locals use the streets in a different way, for example they enjoy to sit directly onto the pavement.
In this first 3 months I've never ever seen anyone sit and relax on one of those benches!
