The work of Joshua Allen Harris has been all over the blog-sphere and youtube for a while, but I had to repost this as they are truly playful and fantastic pieces of work.
He makes these inflatable sculptures of animals and mystical creatures from trash bags. They are then tied to an air vent above a New York subway. As a train passes underneath pushing air upwards, the sculpture comes to life, slowly standing up and catching pedestrians by surprise. Then as the air disappears, the creatures slowly die down.
I highly recommend you watch this video interview with New York Magazine. Whats pleasing is that the artist wasn’t really interested in making them anymore, but because of an explosion of coverage through blogs, it renewed his passion and energy to create again.
Wooster Collective have been following him most of all. Some great videos here.
