cumul's installation in portugal is made with tires and placed upon an urban landscape

cumul is a team of artists, designers and engineers that are dedicated to the universe of the installation, which always apparently simple and clear, are simultaneously of a visual, striking and harmonious complexity. making use of basic and rudimentary objects of our daily life, the group constructs visual games of surrealistic character, that play with the eye and the understanding of the established.
