The Art Of Potholes: These Artists Turned ‘Urban Blemishes’ Into Creative Photo Opportunities (20 Pics)
Potholes are every driver’s nightmare. When governments fail to fix them, photographers like Claudia Ficca and Davide Luciano come in handy. This creative couple decided to take a different look at the annoying experience of driving through cracks and holes. Their ironic photo series, “My Potholes,” turns them into playful settings for the photographer’s imagination.
The idea for this project was born out of their individual experience after hitting a pothole in their own neighborhood in Montreal. First using themselves as models, Claudia and Davide were soon backed by their family and friends and the creative juices started running wild. What started off as a joke turned into quite a fun experience, taking them to cities like Toronto, New York, and Los Angeles. The artists say they’ve learned that sometimes changing our perspective on things is more important than actually fixing them.

The photographs in Potholes are a striking testament to the duo's creativity and ingenuity. Each image presents a new perspective on the urban landscape, using potholes as a canvas for miniature scenes, portals to other worlds, and more. Ficca and Luciano's use of humor and whimsy adds a lighthearted touch to the collection, while their attention to detail and composition is evident in every image.

This is sweet. The lady on the right is an amputee (she lost a leg) but she's still partying and her friend is holding her up.

I think it is in the UK that one person was so fed up with the pot holes they started to highlight then with penis's painted around them.... They (local government) soon started to fill the pot holes.

You know things are bad when the top layer has gone, the layer underneath that has gone, the layer under that has also vanished leaving the original cobble stones from the start of the 1900's
