Francisco de Pájaro – Art Is Trash

This clip from 2022-04-24 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. Beyond Barcelona, his trash art has also appeared in cities such as London and New York. Most pieces last only a few hours – until the city's rubbish trucks come by.
