Stazione Utopia
Marigliano (NA)
An old Circumvesuviana station in Marigliano (NA) has become an abandoned building in the middle of the city. Collettivo Utopia asked several times for a commitment until they decided to occupy external spaces: cleaning up and proposing local street artists to paint external walls, including me. Because of an ideological war the original artwork was completely changed: crossed over with political symbols,
then “restored” with supplements by some of the guys from Collettivo. Finally completely re-painted (by me) with the addition of an element wich recalls this building’s origins: a “ghost” Circumvesuviana, being a mirage in the last years as the train company’s almost broke. Nowadays the (new) artwork has been re-crossed over by another political sign. Stay tuned for some other news…
