Grottaglie, ItalyThe image above was another street installation from last year's Fame Festival in Italy. This one had a miniature speaker and mp3 player hidden inside the cigarette box, playing sounds of coughing. We moved in to a busier area where Angelo (founder of Fame Festival) and I filmed reactions to the installation as people passed by. We would have liked to have shot more, but it was right before a big festival at the church (right behind where we placed the installation) and they kept ringing the church bells. And then the brass band started up. I think that is why every parent tries to shoo their child away - "Come on, get to church!"
Tat one is excellent. Love watching peoples reactions as the coughing caught their attention.
Looking forward to the new book!!
Love your work and Banksy's! I heard of the idea of leaving embroidered grafitti on busses, waitingrooms etc. C
I used to love your work, but now I'm pretty disappointed. You're too much political correct, my friend, and IT'S a problem.
Ok, it's your right to support the point of view of the insurance companies or the point of vision of the medical (and maybe -after some time- racial?) cleansed citizens, of the contemporary STATES.
But I strongly believe that this ritht is the right to stand on the opposite side of the freedom.
Chose sides, my friend, and don't be such a deceivable artist...
very good .i love it
Fantastic!!
Excellent Blog! I really admire your thinking and the way you have put these information in this post. Thanks for sharing an informative post.
Super great blog is right.Can't wait to read your new book!!
I think this is amazing
first time i've been exposed to micro street art like this.
I think the biggest impression made to me in all of the six display units showcased in your post is "Death and Taxes" - and that's because of the video you made there. The magnitude of physical volume and percentage occupation in field of vision is in a completely separate order, and yet the impression has been made. And I think that's to credit the vividness of your art there
this is brilliant. I just found your blog by accident. makes for a good start into the week. thanks for sharing.

I wonder if the coughing sound kept people from looking closer. Did they think it might be catching?
Nice work.
Very nice)) Super!!!
very funny and nice
Just the idea of trying something like this in the south of Italy is just brilliant!! (it wouldn't have been much different in the north...).
I enjoyed watching your short film. :) Children really stopped to check out your work. Adults were not that curious anymore. Or maybe Anonymous was right. maybe adults were afraid to catch the cough. :)
I just stumbled across this blog and am thoroughly in love! This is so creative and amusing. Thank you.
excellent work
very nice pics :)
Just the notion of striving something such as this inside the south associated with Italia is definitely excellent!! (it wouldn't happen to be much different in the north...).
