Dissolving Street Objects by Cayetano Ferrer

Traditionally one would think that the sole purpose of street art is to be seen – and yet a Los Angeles-based artist Cayetano Ferrer makes it look see-through and almost invisible. A video, photography, and sculptural/installation artist covers the urban debris and street signs with high-quality pictures that match the surroundings, and thus the object visually dissolves in the background.

These street art installations were presented as Cayetano’s projects “City of Chicago” and “Western Imports.” The pictures are printed directly on stickers, which are later placed on street signs, cardboard boxes, or any other ordinary objects, creating unique art pieces. By camouflaging the small bits of the city, Cayetano creates this optical illusion of transparency that makes the passersby look twice. Be careful not to stumble over one of his cool art by accident!
