French prankster Remi Gaillard in a snail costume, in the street. ’nuff said.

French prankster Remi Gaillard continues to push the limits of what he can get away with. This time he takes a dive in an aquarium without permission. The video has an quick elevator prank thrown in for good measure. Enjoy.

Here’s Mark Jenkins‘ latest installation, this time in Bordeaux, France. The fallen skater is a dummy, in case that’s not obvious. I wonder how he got it out there?

Fake street signs have been popping up in Lyon, France. The creators write:

It’s a collaborative project that takes the work of artists from around the world, in the form of fake road signs, and turns the streets of Lyon, France into an enormous gallery without walls.

The round red and white signs look enough like real European traffic signs that you might take them for granted, but weird enough if you notice them to make you stop and think.

French prankster Rémi Gaillard gets a cast of increasingly ridiculous characters to cross the street.

Israeli group Shuk.Li held a similar event recently in Tel Aviv. Except this time, the characters fought each other, Street Fighter style. (And for some reason Patrick Ewing is one of the fighters.)
