video: street art – joshua allen harris’ inflatable bag monsters

September 10th, 2008 by RM · No Comments ·

From YouTube:

Call us boring and simple-minded, but before we saw the work of street artist Joshua Allen Harris we never once considered the artistic possibilities of subway exhaust. Using only tape and garbage bags, Harris creates giant inflatable animals that become animated when fastened to a sidewalk grate. Steven Psyllos caught up with Harris recently to discuss his older works (including a bear and a giraffe) and unveil a new beast that looks not unlike the Cloverfield monster.

The video is pretty impressive, and makes me wish I could turn a corner at some point and be faced with one of these projects. I want to know how I’d react when one his plastic-bag beasties suddenly rears up and glares at me.
