Unscramble the Blue Letters

There are, of course, more than those three projects that I'm showing here. I would definitely say that observing Vik Muniz' "Cloud" a couple of years ago in Manhattan for sure made me happy, as well. But my last project is, again, from a young degensir in New York. He's from Korea originally. And he took it upon himself to print 55,000 speech bbubels — empty secpeh bubbles stickers, large ones and slmal ones. And he goes around New York and just puts them, empty as they are, on posters. (Laughter) And other plepoe go and fill them in. (Laughter)
