Urban Camouflage

Arbitrary yet brillant. I think this is the kind of simple creativity that really should have a stronger force. Bring it out of its environment, and I am not sure it would work that well, but I could imagine piles of IKEA bags wondering around the city, sleeping on corners, having lunch in diners, great awareness!

"Urban Camouflage deals with the question how to camouflage oneself and one’s identity in the urban space. Our costumes are inspired by the «ghillie suits», the military camouflage suit. It was an adventure to wear the suit in the stores because of the conflicts with the employees, the reaction of the customers and also to see the pretty well camouflage effect in a real situation." - Source here
