In a effort to encourage the average downtrodden Sydney commuter to pay more attention to their surroundings, Pedersen’s art is disguised as regular signage or hidden in plain sight. If you want to find some of it, you’ll have to keep your eyes peeled.
Stop looking down at your phone and start looking out for the funny street art of Michael Pedersen, who has been leaving installations all over Sydney.
From amusing signs that “curate the mundane” to interactive public installations, Pederson’s urban antics are sure to draw smiles from anybody perceptive enough to notice them.
