Street Pests
Street Pests is a street art project commissioned by the City of Greater Dandenong. Various materials found discarded in the streets have been refashioned into pigeons and rats which are then installed back into the streets they were found.
Street Pests encourages passersby to look again at the world around them by inserting the unexpected into their every day. It also refutes the idea that once something hits the ground it's simply rubbish with no further use. Finally, it's a moment of soft, playful quirkiness in contrast to the grey concrete and red brick walls of our every day urban environment.
