"Space Savers Project" Pokes Fun of the Parking-Spot-Obsessed
Awesome.
From the Arts & Culture section of today’s Philadelphia Weekly:
Michael Konrad’s “Camo Cones (Hiding in Plain Site)” is almost invisible. Wrapped in images of their immediate surroundings, the traffic cones—usually meant to stand out—dissolve into the streetscape. “Although it’s technically illegal, saving parking spaces is not something that people make any effort to hide,” says Konrad, whose traffic cones are meant to discreetly announce their presence. Konrad hopes his cones will introduce a little self-conscious subterfuge into the practice of brazenly saving spaces, an alternative to the status quo of “all sorts of random junk right out there in the street.”
