A French Street Artist Turns Discarded Mattresses Into Giant Food Sculptures

since there are always a lot of them to be found on craigslist. Also around where I live the waste disposal workers will not put them up for trash pick up.

However, I don't believe food ever entered my mind.

Very creative concept.
