From the 16th to the 20th of May 2022, Pablito Zago came to stay at 119 Grande rue in Besançon, at the UTINAM manufacture, for the launch of the first pieces from the collection signed Philippe Lebru X Pablito Zago. 

More than just a meeting of artists, this collaboration cemented the relationship between two different worlds: street art, urban and spontaneous, and mechanical art, defined by precision and nobility. This collaboration defies both art and time, playing with the clichés of each artistic milieu. 

Inspired by his travels to Dakar, Marrakesh and Mexico, Pablito Zago revisits his memories of these destinations through each of the Pop-Up clocks in this collaborative collection. The use of colours and their vividness makes each new Pop-Up a unique piece, vibrant and transcendent.
The Pop-Up clock is now a new form of travel journal, signed Philippe Lebru and Pablito Zago.

Of these twelve unique clockwork masterpieces, signed by both Philippe Lebru and Pablito Zago, only eight are available for purchase.

In an effort to democratise access to these artworks, two clocks will join museum collections, while two more will be kept as artists’ proofs to bear witness to this second collaboration.
