SERGE GAINSBOURG HOUSE

Ephemeral mosaic intervention occupying one of Paris’ most symbolically charged urban surfaces.

EXHIBITIONS & FEATURES

Created during PixelArt’s stay in Paris in 2018, the intervention consisted of a 120 × 120 cm mosaic installed near Serge Gainsbourg’s iconic residence — a site historically associated with graffiti, artistic occupation and collective urban memory.

Conceived as a symbolic gesture returning accumulated visual influence back to the city that originally shaped the artist’s trajectory, the intervention remained active within the street.
