scrap mural

This is one of my favorite "scrap murals" (I'm not sure what to call these surfaces that are made up of partially removed posters on a weathered base, but I love them). It's on the L1 platform toward Hospital at the Unversitat station in Barcelona.

Maybe "décollage" is the term, though to be accurately applied it may require the art be intentional rather than accidental or discovered. More: https://www.tate.org.uk/art... and https://www.nationalgalleries.org/art-and-...

Perhaps only specific to certain artists, but also known as "affiches lacérées," such as here https://www.maxhetzler.com/exhibiti... and here https://www.galerie-vallois.com/edition...

Also sometimes called "urban palimpsest," though art so described is far more intentional, at least according to what I am seeing: https://kagi.com/images... (and, ugh, just realized that the word "intentional" is now skunked by AI overuse).

Gonna have to start using "purposely" or "purposefully" instead of "intentional."
