About this piece

A riad turns its back on the street: blank wall outside, and inside a court open to the sky with water at the centre and four beds of planting around it. The whole house is arranged so that the coolest thing in it is the middle, which is also the only part everybody shares.

Shade, water, painted door

A place, not a work

This is a real address in Marrakech, painted from the geography rather than from anybody's canvas. You can stand where this was painted.

This is one of the seventeen places you can have your own animal painted into. Paint your pet here.
