Biancoshock Hides Micro-Exhibition in Manhole at Pavia's Former Arsenal

Street artist Biancoshock has installed a micro-exhibition inside a manhole at the former Arsenale in Pavia, Italy, discovered by photographer Marcella Milani during an urban exploration. The show features four framed photos of his previous installations within the Arsenal, including a bathroom with green water spilling from a boiler (critiquing corporate greenwashing) and a deconsecrated chapel turned into a kebab stand. The project is part of a series since 2016 with artist Harmen de Hoop, where they remotely assign each other site-specific works. Biancoshock stated the intervention asserts street art's independence from brands and institutions. The manhole will be sealed with wooden planks, making the exhibition permanently hidden.
