Location: Palatul Telefoanelor

Artist: Alexandru Ciubotariu aka Pisica Pătrată

An iconic figure for Bucharest street art, The Square Cat returns to Spotlight with a new piece which mixes light-art with urban art. This time around, The Square Cat’s characters become oversized, climb an iconic building of Bucharest and fold perfectly on the corners of the Palace of Telephones. The Square Cat on The Palace of Telephones is a new oppotunity to investigate urban anatomy, this time in an ephemeral work built from light.
