Aluminium foil replicates heritage building facades at Favoriten 2016

<p>Stunning aluminium foil artwork pieces were a central feature of an exhibition by the Manchester Urban Pioneers at this year&rsquo;s Favoriten Theatre Festival in Dortmund, Germany. The aluminium foil, supplied by European Aluminium Foil Association member Eurofoil, was used to create replicas of heritage building facades by overlaying and embossing the detail onto aluminium foil sheets.</p> <p><img style="vertical-align: middle; display: block; margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto;" src="http://www.alcircle.com/uploads/images/EAFA.png" alt="News" width="480" height="420" /></p> <p><br />The biennial festival for the performing arts, which took place 23 September to 2 October, also featured art installations, music and dance performances as well as a film and a literary program.
