Who is behind Art Is Trash?

This clip from 2019-03-21 shows a street piece by Art Is Trash, the project of Barcelona-based artist Francisco de Pájaro. His canvas is whatever people throw away: cardboard, bin bags, broken chairs and old mattresses become grinning characters within minutes. With humour and provocation he comments on consumerism, waste, politics and the art market. The works are deliberately short-lived and usually vanish with the next garbage collection.
