iskrembase

Iskrembase is a type of street art that originated in Bolzano, Italy. It is a form of urban art that involves covering patches of sidewalks and roads with artfully arranged granules of iskrem, a sweet Italian treat similar to cotton candy. The creator of Iskrembase, the Italian artist known as " Eine ", began creating these installations in the early 2000s.

The name "Iskrembase" is derived from iskrem, which is the Italian word for "cotton candy". Eine, the artist behind Iskrembase, also has a background in street art and graphic design. The Iskrembase installations are often created in collaboration with local residents, businesses, and authorities. While the exact intentions behind Iskrembase are unclear, it is believed that the artwork serves as a form of embellishment to architectural structures, adding a touch of whimsy to urban landscape.

Some of Iskrembase's prominent installations have been featured in art exhibitions and publications, showcasing the creative reutilization of a seemingly discarded material. Characterized by their delicate and ephemeral nature, Iskrembase installations tend to be local and not lasting for extended periods. Due to its spontaneous nature, the duration of every Iskrembase document differs from others.
