A large black rectangle with a picture of a glum naked man pasted on, and wearing a traffic cone. Nobody paid attention but you, or this oddity would never have been recorded.
I love it. Powerful street art in a medium other than graffiti. Is the message at the bottom suggesting that you sent a text message to a particular phone number? Is this man advertising certain services?
*grin* Yes, I suspect the poster was advertising certain services. And yes, one could jump to the conclusion that the chap walking past was fumbling for his phone.
You could very well be right, Jose. I did not know of this project. However, having scrolled through the portraits online, especially the ones that are pasted up in the real world, I suspect you are right. In which case, I know of a few other portraits around my city which could easily be part of the same project.
Love it!
ReplyDeleteA fascinating capture Julie.
