Mexican artist Juan Gilberto Esparza Gonzalez’s street interventions are really nice ways of exploring the city in creative ways through sculptures that integrate into the fabric of urban life. The above picture is a “Streetlamp Tree” of sorts where Esparza connected up 6 lamps to one pole on the streets of Mexico City. some other projects of his include painting street lines in curves to attempt to add some less rigid pathways for cars in urban space: pictured below:
these works by Gonzalez really are quite nice! i especially like the visual distortions on the street, which i bet would look pretty compelling on google’s satellite photos…
these are really nice.. the paint reminds me of chalk walk interventions you do. thanks for the post btw Jonah. 🙂
