Let’s Stick Together

During the Wereld van de Witte de With festival in 2006, Studio VollaersZwart presented LET’S STICK TOGETHER — a large-scale city dressing project in the form of an architectural art installation. At its core was a “plague” of 50,000 fluorescent pink circular stickers that spread like a visual virus throughout the Witte de Withstraat. Buildings, street furniture, objects, and even passersby were “infected,” becoming part of a collective, temporary transformation.

With this intervention, VollaersZwart introduced an unexpected sense of unity to the busy, diverse street — connecting seemingly random elements through one simple, graphic motif. The city gained a new rhythm, and everyday chaos was transformed into a visual composition.

LET’S STICK TOGETHER was a playful yet powerful ode to togetherness and the unexpected in public space. The work was presented as part of the festival program and produced by Mothership, commissioned by Rotterdam Festivals.
