Nobody seems to know who’s making these. But god damn, they’re just so simple and so smart. The artist ties these trash bag animals to subway ventilation grates so that when the train passes, the air blows life into the animal.

Thanks to Wooster Collective for this one.

I’m guessing he got the idea from those blow-up doll things you often see dancing in front of car dealerships.
The funny thing is that those dolls are sad and obnoxious - like the combined feeling of attending a third rate county fair and watching the clown at a 6 year old’s birthday party. But these little trash projects inspire cheer and wonder.
Let’s hear it for art.
