concrete guerilla art

22.7.09 concrete guerilla art

I have noticed over the past few weeks these things appearing on Oxford Street.

Someone has made these pre-fabs (out of concrete?). There are TV and video remote controls, as well as one Nokia phone. Seems that they have poured the concrete into the mould, buttons and all and have scratched messages into them. The detail is amazing. They have been stuck onto brick walls with liquid nails or something.

One of them, a TV remote, is enscribed with the word “Isolation”. I like it. Here is another.

i also found a concrete computer.

I would love to know if anyone else here has seen these things and if anyone knows who is doing it?

My message to the perp is this – “Thank You!” – I hope the Saturday shoppers get your message.

Share and Enjoy:

Well, it looks like cruel exactly made truth of life. I mean my husband for example also gets tired from me watching TV, so he’d do the same, so would do i with his computer ))))))
