Frieze foundation commissioned artist Can Altay for a public art project during the London Olympics 2012. Can Altay’s artwork can be found distributed across key buildings in Waltham Forest. Over twenty large, mirror-ball like sculptures are placed on doors. Accompanying the artwork, a series of discursive pamphlets are published and distributed. Pamphlets, designed in a way to salute William Morris, work as a treasure hunt map for the doorknobs.
Illustrations for the pamphlets were commissioned to Mehmet Ulusahin.
