Here is 'El Tens', a sculptural installation created in Barcelona last year by local artist Lucas Milà, at the Mercat de Sant Antoni.


Five plaster 'people' stand together on the building's roof; a shopper and children appearing to chat casually with a builder. The scene looks surprisingly ordinary at first, possibly because of the reflective yellow vest, until you realise that the mini mannequins are children.

This theme of 'human' installations has become prevalent recently, with international artists like Mark Jenkins setting a standard of shocking street art (see our previous article here). In comparison, Lucas' project seems so friendly, but we can expect great things from him in the future.
