French Street Artist Takes Recycling To Another Level By Transforming Discarded Mattresses Into Delicious Food Sculptures
Yet another example that everything can be art if you are creative enough. If you have recently thrown away your old smelly mattress, you could now have the chance to bring it back home as a delicious looking treat, except for… it would hardly fit back in your bedroom. But we can definitely appreciate a healthy dose of unhealthy food in this unusual form.
For the past 8 years, French street artist Lor-K has been on a mission to sensitize people about wastefulness by recycling unwanted waste into contemporary urban sculptures. For her latest project “Eat Me”, she cooked up giant food sculptures from old, discarded mattresses found on the streets of Paris.
In order to create these mouth-watering fast food masterpieces, she improvises with what she can find. After carving and spray painting the mattresses, she leaves them, or in other words, ultimately abandons them, where she found them, on the sidewalk – but this time, looking much more appetizing than the original.
Scroll through the urban menu this artist has prepared for you, and bon appétit!

Great idea) You can say a work of art) Of course, it's better to hand over old trash for recycling, but making an art object from an old mattress is cool. https://big-ben.co/

I dunno...the size of the sculptures and the backgrounds do not gel. The proportions are weird. What's up?

Because this is a french dish: "croque madame". "Croque monsieur" is bread, bechamel sauce, cheese and ham, and then Madame has an egg on top.

I tried to avoid from looking at yummy food during this mid month , since I don't have my salary left until the end of this month. But, now I'm looking at these.

Since they're beds, you can just sit back and think of old soiled mattresses...

I'm just thinking "good job French?" That there are no homeless actually using those mattresses from where they were allegedly procured? I like the idea and the transformation but homeless got a better use out of a dirty old mattress than a transformed version - again, even though they look very exciting

Title: I think what was meant was "delicious-looking food articles", not "delicious food articles'. There's a big difference.

These are fantastic soft sculptures. Now for the my thoughts and questions... Old mattresses from the street. First thing, they must weigh a ton with old skin cells, tiny dead beasties, etc. Then, how can this great artist deal with the smell? What happens to them once she's put them back in place? Do people pick them up, take them home, smell up their homes and get bedbugs? I need to know!
