daily paper fix: post winter lanterns


handmade cardboard lanterns by this is limbo.

i love this street art project & the artist's statement about it: what i like about the lanterns is that it deals with the frail temporary aspect of putting up art in street...the longest (possible) life span of these pieces will be that of the candles, which is probably just a few hours. therefore, when someone runs into it on the street they know that it was placed there not so long ago and they, by coincidence, got there in the small time frame that the piece was "active", hopefully giving them the feeling that it was placed there especially for them, and maybe guiding them, following them home and subtly lighting up their way.
