This All Happened More or Less, Public art installation along Southeast Division Street in Portland, United States
Eight bronze statues mounted on dolomite boulders line Southeast Division Street between 11th and 36th Avenues, depicting neighborhood activities.
The installation, created by Crystal Schenk and Shelby Davis in 2014, received recognition from Americans for the Arts as one of 31 notable public projects.
The bronze figures represent daily life scenes, from children skateboarding to people waiting for buses or sitting with their dogs.
The sculptures stand near bioswales and local businesses, allowing pedestrians to discover each character while walking along the street.
The title references Kurt Vonnegut's Slaughterhouse-Five opening line, connecting literature with street art through carefully placed figures that tell neighborhood stories.
