William Lamson

Your first reaction to this footage may be something like: "Huh?" And your second reaction: "Anyone can string bananas to a tree!" But let's be honest. Have you ever thought to do it? That's William Lamson's strength -- creating unlikely pairs in simple but surprising ways. He's a Brooklyn based artist, interested in photography, sculpture and performance. Using inexpensive materials and simple structures, he creates visuals that are mesmerizing and, in one word, playful. ~NPR

I also really enjoyed his performance art Actions series. A great example of taking one theme, in his case black balloons, and creating anything and everything they mind can think of. His is website to see other projects.
