Yvonne Bayer and Sabina Keric worked together on an urban camouflage project in 2007. They had taken many different objects like Ikea bags, gloves and even bottles to create their work. While working they came into unsatisfied watchers seeing this creation, but that did not stop the absolute fun of the project. At this time Yvonne was a student at Konstfack University of Arts, Crafts and Design in Sweden. Here is where all the ideas blossomed.













One of her many projects was being covered in Ikea bags standing beside a bin of them. Working with Sabina they created this masterpiece. Having customers walking by they didn't always get the kind of feedback they wanted, even to the extent that they would have to leave places. The work they usually do is in commercial areas, or a large amount of space. Creating these projects could be either expensive and time consuming, or cheap and quick.











Having so many different objects and huge piles of them, they have an endless supply of ideas. One they had was of using binders as the camouflage. Going into large un-artistic areas is what creates the most surprising of reactions. Having these large areas makes their work the easiest. So many places to go and so many things to use. This is definitely thinking out of the box.














Their next project contains a lot of boxes. Now they have travelled into a very commercial space. Here is a great example of working together, creating such a spectacle to these unsuspecting people having no clue what is going on. Yvonne and Sabina have made so many different creations, yet I think this one is their best. It makes the work have a whole new look and I believe that is a great thing to have.













There are so many possibilities for this kind of project and Yvonne and Sabina use many of them. No ordinary person can create such a thing, you have to be truly creative like these two. Making these can take too much time and sometimes not enough. It can make you spend too much and even small amounts as well. Looking through these photos and videos I am inspired to do something like them, and put just as much effort as them in.
