The Destructive Creation art team last night painted several garbage containers in downtown Sofia to mark Earth Day.
The containers bore the slogan “Drop Your Garbage On the Ground”.
Quoted by Bulgarian-language media, representatives of the anonymous group explained that those containers were for people who like to drop their garbage on the ground. “Now they have a special place for that,” said the group.
The art provocateurs Destructive Creation are mostly known for painting the Monument of the Soviet Army in Sofia with US comic strip characters and “dressing up” another communist-era monument as a Martenitsa.
Recently they also “dressed up” various monuments in Sofia in blue cloth to raise public awareness for autism.
