#SetIntheStreet
Featuring: Justin Bettman
An ongoing art project by Justin Bettman, #SetIntheStreet consists of elaborate interior spaces created in public places. After shooting photos in the spaces, the sets are left up so that passersby can shoot their own photos and share using the Instagram hashtag #SetintheStreet.
The final photographs Justin shoots explore the complex ideas of perspective and perception through revealing the larger picture that we often overlook. Justin has created these sets at various locations around the world including New York City, London, Berlin, Moscow, and Prague.
