A London bus, fully cloaked in the same chromatic waves that flood the street, becomes both subject and vessel in this surreal procession. Its route: 731. Its call: "Unfollow the crowd."

In Rue Defiance, colour collapses distinction. Architecture bends, asphalt flows, and public transport blurs into its own terrain. The bus no longer carries passengers — it transmits ideology, gliding through a reality made fluid by rebellion.

The street itself becomes a manifesto written in bands of coral, teal, and amber — each stripe a rejection of the monochrome march of conformity. King's Road transforms into a runway of resistance, where the everyday act of catching the bus becomes an act of chromatic insurgency.

Part of The One tier, this work embodies the singularity of vision and gesture that defines the Collar Project’s most exclusive compositions. Here, defiance isn't shouted — it's painted across the very ground we walk upon.
