The Golden Ass

Street artist Mark Jenkins makes, among other things, awesome human sculptures out of tape and then dresses them and puts them in public places. His latest project is The Golden Ass. In an area of Barcelona packed with “golden statue” type street performers, he constructed a sculpture that looked like a human in a horse costume. Everyone who encountered it assumed it was a performer being incredibly still.

He writes:

“…it’s much easier to make pretend people than to pretend to be a sculpture all day.”

Trees Are People Too

In one of Filthy Lucre’s latest projects, he added eyes to trees and bushes in the public space. They “eyes” are really just dots painted on while balloons. Both of these photos were taken in Salamanca, Spain.
