Alvaro Barrington created a structure
00:45
inspired by his grandmother's home in Granada
00:49
inside a shop here in Basel that specializes
00:52
on importing products from Africa to Switzerland.
00:55

01:36
that they will discover art on their way to work
01:39
or while they're grocery shopping.
