FACADES

In 2022, the "PFFFESTIVAL- urbane art in Stuttgart" took place for the first time. The artists Bezt, Marvin Daumüller, Rafael Gerlach, Julia Heinisch, Inga Krause and Roids designed large-scale works in various parts of the city. Six facades were painted over a period of three weeks in September.

The public space in Stuttgart and the surrounding area is to a large extent commercially occupied. We would like to contrast the commercial themes with artistic positions and thus contribute to making the city of Stuttgart more attractive and liveable in the long term. The aim of the project is to realise about 20 large facade artworks in the city area by 2025. To this end, we are inviting internationally and locally renowned artists to bring as broad a spectrum of urban art as possible to the city. 

Bezt (Etam) has already left his mark on all five continents, and we are now happy to have a work in Stuttgart. At the busy intersection, the still life acts as a haven of calm. The façade is located at Neckarstraße 127 between Stöckach & Neckartor station.
