Under the motto “ONE WALL – one wall, one artist, one message”, URBAN NATION has been inviting internationally renowned and emerging artists to create monumental paintings on building facades in Berlin since 2014. In this way, the face of the city is changed sustainably through urban art.
Every ONE WALL conveys an artistic position: the artists deal with the environment and then create an individual work. Through the targeted creative examination of the respective neighborhood, art and the neighborhood are linked with one another.
The artist duo Mots (Jagoda Cierniak, Poland, and Diogo Ruas, Portugal) explored the emotional power and aesthetic expression of objects during their stay in Berlin as part of the Fresh A.I.R. #4 residency program.
