Francisco de Pájaro – Art Is Trash

This clip from 2024-01-17 shows a street piece by Art Is Trash, the project of Barcelona-based artist Francisco de Pájaro. Since 2009 he has turned rubbish left on the pavement – boxes, bags, mattresses, old furniture – into wild, comic figures painted on the spot. His figures poke fun at throwaway culture, power and the established art world. Most pieces last only a few hours – until the city's rubbish trucks come by.
