Streetwear (Re) Construction
Dressing Cities- We live inside structures that are never finished. Cities, like bodies, are always in process, patched,
repaired, covered, exposed. A façade wrapped in netting, a street torn open for repairs.
The skin of a place pulled back to reveal its bones.
When I began working with construction nets, I wasn’t interested in decoration. I was interested in
what happens when you put a veil between the public and the private, when you dress a building the
way you dress yourself. A curtain is never neutral. It conceals, but it also attracts attention. It says:
not yet. It says: look closer.
Cities, like people, are most honest when they are unfinished. A hem undone, scaffolding still visible.
We are not meant to be polished at all times. We are meant to shift, to change, to hold both exposure
and disguise.
The “Streetwear (Re)Construction” series is not about monuments, it is about fragments. It is about
finding beauty in the in-between—when the city is half-clothed, half-exposed. A kind of streetwear for
architecture.
Giulia Peyrone’s “Streetwear (Re)Construction” is an ongoing public art project that has been displayed on the historic Ponte Vecchio and Piazza de’ Pitti in Florence, Italy. It was printed onto standard debris netting and installed by the team at Iniziative Edili S.R.L., a leading restoration construction company in Florence, Italy.
