Funny Face


(Real) weather balloon attached to house front.
Meeker between N. Henry and Humboldt, Brooklyn, N.Y. 2004.

Dan Witz is as an artist who does street art, gallery work and pranks. He is a master of visual pranks, he sees a joke in the mundane and ordinary. The house in the image above has a very average, boring facade, yet Dan Witz has stuck a red balloon on to it and it becomes something extraordinary. It makes you look twice, it makes you smile or laugh.

I thought it was such a fun and clever idea. To morph a house into a funny face just by attaching a balloon! It is so simple I love finding humour in the ordinary and unexpected.
